Rewa State, also known as Rewah, was a Kingdom and later princely state of India, surrounding its eponymous capital, the town of Rewa.[citation needed]
With an area of about 43,530 km2 (16,807 sq mi),[1] Rewa was one of the largest princely states in the Bagelkhand Agency and the second largest in Central India Agency. Rewa was also the third-wealthiest principality in Central India, with an average revenue of 2.9 million rupees in 1901.[2] The Bagelkhand Agency was dissolved in 1933, following which Rewa was placed under the authority of the Indore Residency. Rewah state had a 15-gun salute.[citation needed]
