'''Jamkhandi State''' was one of the [[ Maratha ]] [[princely states]] of [[British India]].<ref>[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V14_052.gif Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 14, p. 46.]</ref> It was founded in 1811<ref>[http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/ips/j/jamkhandi.html Jamkhandi (Princely State)]</ref> and its capital was at [[Jamakhandi]]. It was administered as part of the [[Deccan States Agency]] of the [[Bombay Presidency]] and was one of the former states of the [[Southern Maratha Country]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Jamkhandi state was founded in 1811 by Shrimant Gopalrao Patwardhan. He was a descendant of Bramhibhoot Harbhat Buva Patwardhan of [[Kurandvad Senior]] State.<br />
<br />
The name of the state was derived from Jambukeshwar temple. The temple itself got the name because it was deep inside a [[Jambul]] blueberry (''Jambul'' in [[Marathi language|Marathi]], ''Nerale Hannu'' in [[Kannada language|Kannada]], ''Jamun'' in [[Hindi]]) forest. Today, a primary school functions from the temple precinct.<ref>Swami Vivekanand English Medium school and Nutan Vidyalaya Kannada Gandu Makkala Shale, ನೂತನ ವಿದ್ಯಾಲಯ ಕನ್ನಡ ಗಂಡು ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಶಾಲೆ</ref><br />
<br />
The town of [[Kundgol]], which is in the neighboring [[Dharwar district]], was a [[Geographic contiguity|non-contiguous]] part of Jamkhandi State until it merged into the [[Dominion of India|Indian Union]] on 19t February 1948.<br />
<br />
===Rulers===<br />
The rulers of the state bore the title 'Raja'. The Rajas of Jamkhandi belonged to the Patwardhan dynasty.<ref>[http://www.worldstatesmen.org/India_princes_A-J.html Princely States of India]</ref><br />
<br />
The rulers of Jamkhandi were of the Chitpavan Brahmin caste, originally from the Kotawada in [[Ratnagiri]]. Haribhat, who was the family priest of another Chitpavan Brahmin, the chief of Ichalkaranji. Three of Haribhat's sons served [[Peshwa]] and distinguished themselves during various conquests.
