Jashpur State was one of the princely states of India during the British Raj. The town of Jashpur was the former state's capital. The rulers were Rajputs of the Chauhan clan.
After the Independence of India, Jashpur State was merged with the princely states of Raigarh, Sakti, Sarangarh and Udaipur to form the Raigarh district of Madhya Pradesh.[1] Now the district of Raigarh is part of Chhattisgarh state.
