Nagod ( Hindi नागोड़ रियासत ; also Nagode or Nagodh ) was a princely state of the Central India Agency in the Bundelkhand region of British India in today's state of Madhya Pradesh .
The principality was founded in 1344 under the name of its capital Unchehara by Raja Veeraj Judeo, a Parihar - Rajputs , and renamed in 1720 after the new capital Nagod . When the British gained supremacy in central India after the Marathas in 1802, Nagod was considered a vassal state of Panna ; 1809–1947 the principality was a direct British protectorate .
In 1901 Nagod, including the Dhanwahi exclave, had an area of 1,298 km² and a population of 67,000. On April 4, 1948, the Raja joined the Princely Union of Vindhya Pradesh and on January 1, 1950, joined India . On November 1, 1956, all princely states were dissolved and Vindhya Pradesh was incorporated into the state of Madhya Pradesh .
