Baudh was a Princely state of Orissa. Technically it is correct that the state of Baudh lapsed in 1956. The last Ruling Chief of Baudh Raja Narayan Prasad Deb used to stay at Gurusaday Road in Calcutta after merger. I was then about 4-5 years old and have faint memories of the time when the Raja passed away. He had no issues. As per tradition a new Raja had to sit on the throne " Gaddi" before the body could be sent for cremation. The second son of the Raja of Dhenkanal sat on the "Gaddi' and the funeral rites took place. This was I think later on challenged and the succession was not recognized by the Government of India. Later on the widow of The Late Raja Narayan Prasad Deb adopted her nephew Rajkumar Nabin Chandra Deb of Parikud, who came to be known as Raja Nabin Prasad Deb. Although he inherited the Rani's property, he was not recognzed. Raja Nabin died a few years back and is succeeded by his son.

As mentioned by Henry, Raja Dhanrajgir was the title given to probably one of the most senior ranking nobility/royalty in the court of the Nizam of Hyderabad. They had very significant territories in the state of Hyderabad and were given the title of Raja. Some of the family lives in Bombay and they have / had a buiding called Dhanrajgir Mahal near the Taj Hotel in Mumbai (right by the Gateway of India).

The magnificent Dhanraj Mahal does belong to the family. It was the most expensive commecial complex ever built in India till 1950s. I believe it was "requisitioned" by Indian Navy for a long time and this may explain its poor maintenance. The Gyan Bagh Palace referes to the Dhanrajgir Palace in Hyderabad in Pan Mandi area: http://wikimapia.org/806859/ http://dome.mit.edu/handle/1721.3/21406 http://intach.ap.nic.in/awards1.htm It is considered to the best maintained palace in hyderabad. --- Shashank Kothi <shashank_kothi@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > The Dhanrajgir family seems to have a very > interesting and diverse set of personalities across > corporate and the glamour world over a long period > of time.

It refers to the famous Dhanrajgir family of hyderabad. They were bankers to hyderabad state and were granted title of "Raja" . They were extremely wealthy and philantrophic family. The family was also known to be very good looking. Sabita Dhanrajgir was ex-miss india and a supermodel while her brother Tarun was famous TV star in 1980s.

Hi My surname is Haldia. There is a place called Haldia in West Bengal. Recently, I have come to know that one of my fore fathers were Raja of that place known as Haldia. In those days it was not in Bengal but orrissa. Because my fore fathers were Raja of that place, hence, it came to be called as Haldia, may be Haldia in those days. Although my family was associated with the ruling families of Alwar and Jaipur states. One of my fore fathers were given title of Raja Khushali Ram. I am not aware that somebody from my family went to the place Haldia in the east also. Can any of you enlighten me on this subject?
