The state had an area of 452 square miles (1,170 km2) and a population of 34,130 in 1892. In 1947 it was merged into independent India, becoming Dhenkanal District of Orissa State (now Odisha) in 1948.

History

According to tradition, the first ruler was a Suryavanshi Rajput of Dharanagar named Santosh Pal. While returning from a pilgrimage to Puri he crossed this territory and made peace between two local tribal groups. As a result, Santosh Pal was elected as ruler by the Sabara people, one of the tribes involved in the conflict.[2]

Rulers

The rulers of the Pal Lahara princely state claimed to be descendants of Raja Bhoj of Dhar, from the ancient Rajput Paramara dynasty.[3]
