Sonepur, also known asSonpur State,[1] was one of theprincely states ofIndia during the period of theBritish Raj. Its ruler was entitled to a nine-gun salute.[2] Formerly it was placed under theCentral India Agency, but in 1905 it was transferred to theEastern States Agency.[3] Its capital wasSonepur, the only significant town in the area. The former state's territory is in the present-daySubarnapur district,Western Odisha.

History

[edit]

The Sonepur state was founded in 1650 when the fourth Chauhan ruler ofSambalpur Madhukar Dev, conquered the region from theBhanja rulers of Boudh and entrusted it to his younger son Madan Gopal who hence became the founder of the Chauhan dynasty branch of Sonepur.[4][5]

The state came under the control of theBritish Empire post the Maratha defeat and later king Niladhar Singh Deo was awarded titles for services rendered to the British during theSambalpur uprising.[6]

After Indian independence, Sonepur's last ruler acceded to the newly independentDominion of India, on 1 January 1948 with the state forming much of the present-daySubarnapur district.
