Udaipur was a princely state of British India on the edge of the Chota-Nagpur plateau in what is now the state of Chhattisgarh . Its capital was Dharamjaigarh ( Dharmjaygarh ).

It was created in 1818 as an appanage for a branch line of the Rajas of Surguja and was a British protectorate from 1818 to 1947 . Udaipur was under the province of Bengal until 1905 , then the Central Provinces and in 1901 had an area of ​​2732 km² and 45,000 inhabitants.

The Raja joined the Eastern States Union in August 1947 . On January 1, 1948, this union was dissolved and Udaipur was incorporated into the newly created state of Madhya Pradesh and thus India .
