Karauli ( Hindi : करौली , Karaulī ) was one of the princely states of the Rajputs in today's Rajasthan ( British India ), named after the capital of the same name .
The Jadon dynasty is derived from the princes of Mathura , a princely state founded by Raja Brahm Pal in the 10th century . The 25th Maharaja of Mathura, Dharam Pal II (1655–1674), was the first to reside in Karauli. In the 18th century Karauli came under the supremacy of the Marathas , who had to cede all areas north of the Narmada to the British East India Company in the Peace of Pune in 1817 . 1817–1947 Karauli was a British protectorate .
Karauli had in 1941 an area of 3178 km² and 160,000 inhabitants. It joined the Matsayas Union on March 17, 1948, joined India on April 7, 1949 , Greater Rajasthan on May 15, 1949, and the princely state dissolved on November 1, 1956.
