Rairakhol was a princely state of British India in what is now the state of Odisha . Its capital was the place Rampur . In 1901 the little country had an area of 2157 km² and 27,000 inhabitants.
The Rajas - Rathore - Rajputs - were related to those of Seraikella , Kharsawan and Bonai . Until the time of the Marathas Wars , Rairakhol was under the sovereignty of Bamra . From 1827 to 1947 it was an independent British protectorate . It was under the Central Provinces until 1905 .
