Dhaulpur State or Dholpur State, historically known as the Kingdom of Dholpur, was a kingdom of eastern Rajasthan, India, which was founded in AD 1806 by a Jat ruler Rana Kirat Singh of Gohad.[1][2][3] After 1818, the state was placed under the authority of British India's Jatwara. The Ranas ruled the state until the independence of India in 1947, when the kingdom was merged with the Union of India.
The princely state of Dholpur was located in the present-day state of Rajasthan. The state only had an area of 3,038 km2 (1,173 sq mi), and an estimated revenue of Rs. 9,60,000.[4]
The former chief minister of Rajasthan, Vasundhara Raje, was a member of the erstwhile ruling family of Dholpur as she was married to Maharaja Hemant Singh before getting divorced.
