Katodia

Katodia is a village and former non-salute Rajput princely state on Saurashtra peninsula in Gujarat, western India.

History

It was a single village ^[1] princely state in Gohelwar prant, under Gohel Rajput ^[1] Chieftains.

It had a population of 347 in 1901, yielding a state revenue of 3,000 Rupees (mostly from land; 1903–4) and paying 221 Rupees tribute to the Gaekwar Baroda State and Junagadh State. ^[1] It was the lowliest of the princely states of the British Raj. ^[2] The talukdar of Katodia got a privy purse of just Rs 192 which was the lowest among all the former princely state rulers. ^{[3] [2] [4]}

During the British Raj, the petty state was under the colonial Eastern Kathiawar Agency.
