Khandpara State (Odia: ଖଣ୍ଡପଡ଼ା; Hindi: खंड्पारा) was one of the princely states of India during the period of the British Raj. It was located in present-day Nayagarh district, Odisha.
The state was bounded in the north by the Mahanadi River. The main town was Kantilo, but the capital was at Khandpara (Khandapada).[1]

History
Khandpara State was initially part of Nayagarh State, founded by a former ruler of Rewa State, but became a separate kingdom in 1599 when Jadunath Singh Mangraj, the first ruler of Khandpara received the title of 'Mangraj' from the Maharaja of Orissa.[2] The rulers were Rajputs of the Baghela or Vaghela dynasty. The last Raja of Khandpara signed the instrument of accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1948.[3]
Rulers
The rulers of Khandpara State bore the title of Raja. The emblem of the Khandpara royal family was the head of a tiger; state symbols were identical in neighboring Nayagarh State.[4]
