Jhalawar ( Hindi : झालावाड़ , Jhālāvāṛ ) was one of the princely states of the Rajputs in British India in today's Rajasthan , named after the capital of the same name .
The Jhala - Dynasty comes from Halvad in the district of Surendranagar on the peninsula Kathiawar . The princely state was founded in 1838 by Maharajah Rana Madan Singh from parts of the state of Kota . When Maharaj Rana Zalim Singh Bahadur died without an heir in 1896, the British dissolved the princely state, but in 1899 they formed a new, smaller state of Jhalawar. In 1941 this had an area of 2106 km² and 120,000 inhabitants. On March 25, 1948 he joined the Union of Rajasthan , on April 7, 1949 it was annexed to India , and on November 1, 1956, the princely state was dissolved.
The state had its own post office with its own stamps from 1887–1900 .
