Wankaner State was one of the princely states of India in the historical Halar region of Kathiawar during the period of the British Raj. It was an 11-gun salute state belonging to the Kathiawar Agency of the Bombay Presidency.[1][2] Its capital was in Wankaner, located in Rajkot district, Gujarat state. Most of the territory of the state was mountainous.[3]
History
Wankaner State was founded in 1620 by Raj Sartanji, son of Prathirajji, eldest son of Raj Chandrasinghji of Halvad (1584–1628). Sartanji with the help of Jam Lakhoji of Nawanagar defeated Mahiyas and Babarias and established himself at Wankaner with the title of Maharana.[4]
In 1807 Wankaner State became a British protectorate when Maharana Raj Sahib Chandrasinhji II Kesarisinhji signed a treaty with the British. In 1862 the ruler of the state received a sanad giving the monarch authorization to adopt an heir. The ruler acceded to the Indian Union on 15 February 1948.[2]
