'''Baudh State''', also known as ''' Boudh State''', was one of the [[princely state]]s of [[India]] during the period of the [[British Raj]]. It was recognized as a state in 1874<ref>[http://www.worldstatesmen.org/India_princes_A-J.html Princely States of India A-J]</ref> and had its capital in [[Boudh]] town. Its last ruler signed the accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1948.

==History==
According to traditions, with the advent of [[Eastern Ganga dynasty|Eastern Ganga]] rule over the region post the defeat of the [[Somavamshi dynasty]], there were local chieftains ruling over Baudh as Eastern Ganga feudatories. Upon time the Brahmin chieftain was childless and hence adopted the nephew of the neighbouring Raja of Keonjhar who belonged to the [[Bhanj dynasty]]. This prince named Ananga Bhanja then styled himself Ananga Deva and became the King of Baudh in the 14th century.<ref>{{citation |title=ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS BOUDH |publisher=GAD, Govt of Odisha |url=http://gopabandhuacademy.gov.in/sites/default/files/gazetter/Boudh_Gazetteer.pdf |page=23 |date=1991 }}</ref><ref name="IGI">[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V07_140.gif ''Imperial Gazetteer of India'', v. 7, p. 140.]</ref><ref>Malleson, G. B. ''An historical sketch of the native states of India,'' London 1875, Reprint Delhi 1984</ref>

In late 15th century, Naren Bhanja, the brother of then Raja of Baudh was made chieftain of the Daspalla region, from which he later seceded and declared his independent kingdom leading to the creation of the [[Daspalla State]].<ref>{{citation |title=ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS NAYAGARH |publisher=GAD, Govt of Odisha |url=http://gopabandhuacademy.gov.in/sites/default/files/gazetter/Nayagarh_Gazetteer.pdf |page=42 |date=2015 }}</ref>
