Pal Lahara (Odia: ପାଲ ଲହଡ଼ା; Hindi: पाल लहारा), was a princely state in what is today India during the British Raj. It had its capital at Pal Lahara.[1]
The state had an area of 452 square miles (1,170 km2) and a population of 34,130 in 1892. In 1948 it was merged into Dhenkanal District.
History
According to tradition the first ruler was a Suryavanshi Rajput of Dharanagar named Santosh Pal. While returning from a pilgrimage to Puri he crossed this territory and made peace between two local tribal groups. As a result, Santosh Pal was elected as ruler by the Sabara people, one of the tribes involved in the conflict.[2]
Rulers
The rulers of the Pal Lahara princely state claimed to be descendants of Raja Bhoj of Dhar, from the ancient Paramara dynasty.[3]
