city in Gujarat state, India
About Palanpur
Established in 13th century, the city was ruled by Rajput dynasties. At the start of the seventeenth century, the Palanpur State was taken over by Nawabs of Jhalori dynasty. The dynasty came into historical prominence during the period of instability that followed the death of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the early 18th century. It was overrun soon afterwards by the Marathas; the Lohanis followed the trend of seeking recourse in the British East India Company against them and finally entered the subsidiary alliance system in 1817, along with all other neighbouring states, becoming a British protectorate. After independence of India in 1947, Palanpur State was dissolved in 1949 and merged with Union of India as a part of Bombay State. Subsequently, Palanpur became the capital of Banaskantha
