Bhuragarh fort was maintained by the Banda State.

Banda was a princely state in Uttar Pradesh, India. It was disestablished due to its participation in the Indian Rebellion of 1857.[1]

The former region controlled by Banda state had a population of 698,608 people in 1881.[2]

History[edit]

The founder of Banda was Ali Bahadur I. He was a grandson of the Peshwa Bajirao and son of Shamsher Bahadur. Bahadur managed to carve an independent principality for himself. However, the short-lived state ceased to exist after it participated in the unsuccessful Indian Rebellion of 1857. Its last ruler Ali Bahadur II was deposed, and the state was annexed by the British Raj.[1]
