Jambughoda State, previously known asNarukot andTokalpur state, was a smallprincely state inIndia during the time of theBritish Raj. Its last ruler acceded to the Union of India on 10 June 1948.

Jambughoda State had an area of 370 km² and a population of 11385 in 1931.^[1] It was bounded byBaria State in the north,Baroda State in the south andChhota Udaipur State in the east.

Jambughoda State fell under theBaroda Agency of theBombay Presidency, later integrated into theBaroda and Gujarat States Agency. It was located in a tribal dominated area, with theNaikda and theKoli people as the main groups. Its capital was atJambughoda town in present-dayGujarat state,India.

Jambughoda State was established towards the end of the 14th century by Thakore Vachhaji, a descendant of theMalwa ruling dynasty. From the mid-tenth century, Malwa had been ruled by the Paramaras, who established a capital atDhar. King Bhoj, who ruled from about 1010 to 1060, was known as the great polymath philosopher-king of medieval India. Under his rule Malwa became an intellectual centre of India. His successors ruled until about 1305, when Malwa was conquered by theDelhi Sultanate.

In 1826 Jambughoda State became aBritish protectorate. Between 1829 and 1838 the territory was occupied byBaroda State, becoming a British protectorate again in 1849.^[2]
