Hindol State was one of the princely states of India during the British Raj. Its former territory is now part of Dhenkanal district. The state's former capital was the town of Hindol, Odisha. Until 1947, it was not part of British India but was subject to the suzerainty of the British crown, under the Orissa States Agency.

History

The Hindol state was founded in 1554 with the overthrow of two ruling brothers, Chandradeva Jenamani and Udhavadeva Jenamani, belonging to the family of the Badakhemundi Raja of Ganjam, which was a branch of the Paralakhemundi line of the Eastern Ganga dynasty. ^{[1] [2]} After the East India Company occupied Orissa in September–October 1803 treaties were signed with estates of the region, including Hindol.

After the independence of India in 1947, Hindol merged into the Republic of India on 1 January 1948. ^[3] Thereafter in 1948, once all the princely states including Dhenkanal, Talcher, Athmallik, Pal Lahara and Hindol formally merged with the province of Orissa, the present Dhenkanal district was created. ^[4]

Rulers

The rulers of Hindol were descendants from the Badakhemundi (Bodo Khemundi) branch of the Eastern Ganga dynasty. ^[5]
