Mudhol was a princely state of British India on the Deccan Plateau in what is now the state of Karnataka . The capital was Mudhol in what is now Bagalkot District .
With an area of 953 square kilometers and 63,001 inhabitants (1901), Mudhol was one of the smaller princely states. It was located on the banks of the Ghataprabha River between the princely state of Jamkhandi , the districts of Bijapur and Belgaum in the province of Bombay and an exclave belonging to the princely state of Kolhapur .
The state was ruled by a Marathi dynasty belonging to the Ghorpade clan . The ancestors of the rulers of Mudhol had originally received the area from the Sultanate of Bijapur as a fief ( Jagir ). During the conquests of Shivaji they joined the Marathi Confederation in the 17th century. After the end of the Third Marath War (1817-1818) Mudhol became a British protectorate . In 1922 the rulers assumed the title of Raja . After Indian independence in 1947, Mudhol merged with 15 other princely states to form the United Deccan States , which were incorporated into the state of Bombay on February 5, 1948. Through the States Reorganization Act , the Mudhol area became part of the state of Mysore in 1956 (renamed Karnataka in 1973 ).
