Datia ( Duttia ) was a princely state in the Bundelkhand region of British India . It was created in 1626 through an inheritance division of the Bundela - Rajputs of Orchha . The Raos of Datia took the title Raja in 1820 , Parichhat Singh in 1877 the title Maharaja . The initially small principality was enlarged by conquests and fiefs of the Mughals of Delhi and in 1941 had an area of 2362 km² and 183,000 inhabitants.
