'''Sangli State''' was one of the 11-[[gun salute]] [[Maratha]] [[princely states]] of [[British India]]. It was under the Kolhapur-Dekkan Residency in the [[Bombay Presidency]], and later the [[Deccan States Agency]].

The Principality of Sangli covered an area of 2,880 square kilometers and had a population of 226,128 in 1901, while the population of the town itself was 16,829 in that year.

The capital of the state was [[Sangli]]. The city derives its name from ''"Saha Galli"'' ("Six Lanes" in [[Marathi language|Marathi]]).

==History==
[[Sangli]] was part of [[Maratha Empire]], for it had been one of the [[Southern Maratha Country|Southern Maratha]] [[Jagir]]s. However, there are no direct references mentioning Sangli before 1801. During the time of [[Chhatrapati Shivaji]], Sangli, [[Miraj State|Miraj]] and surrounding areas were captured from the [[Mughal Empire]]. Until 1801, Sangli was included in the Miraj [[Jagir]]. The First Chintamanrao Appasaheb Patwardhan established a different principality with Sangli as the capital city.

On 5 May 1819 Sangli State became a [[British protectorate]]. Its territory was widely scattered among other native states and [[Presidencies and provinces of British India|British districts]].<ref>{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Sangli |volume=24 |page=150}}</ref>

The last ruler of Sangli was [[Chintamanrao Dhundirao Patwardhan|Capt. HH Shrimant Raja Saheb Sir Chintamanrao II Dhundirajrao Appasaheb Patwardhan]]. Sangli joined the [[Dominion of India]] on 19 February 1948 and is currently a part of the state of [[Maharashtra]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Maharashtra State Gazetteers: Sholapur|publisher=Director of Government Printing, Stationery and Publications, Maharashtra State|year=1977|page=869}}</ref>

==Rulers==
The rulers of Sangli State were Hindu and belonged to the Patwardhan dynasty. They used the title of '[[Raja|Rao]]'. The last ruler adopted the title 'Raja'<ref>[http://www.worldstatesmen.org/India_princes_K-W.html#Sangli List of rulers of Sangli]</ref>

The Patwardhan rulers were of the Chitpavan Brahmin caste, originally from the Kotawada in [[Ratnagiri]]. Haribhat, who was the family priest of another Chitpavan Brahmin, the chief of Ichalkaranji. Three of Haribhat's sons served [[Peshwa]] and distinguished themselves during various conquests. The Peshwa awarded them Jagirs of [[Jamkhandi State]], Miraj, Sangli and Kurundwad, to honor their bravery and courage.<ref name=Jadeja-DH>{{cite news|last1=Jadeja|first1=Arjunsinh|title=The migrant rulers of Jamkhandi|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/364366/migrant-rulers-jamkhandi.html|access-date=2 February 2015|issue=Bangalore|publisher=Deccan Herald|date=22 October 2013}}</ref>
