Kangra-Lambagraon was a historical state and later princely estate (jagir) of British India located in the present-day state of Himachal Pradesh.[1]

The rulers of the estate belonged to the ancient Katoch dynasty[2] which had ruled the former Kangra State.[3] Kangra is credited with being the oldest and largest state in the Punjab Hills.[4]

In 1846 Kangra was annexed to British India as part of the Treaty of Lahore.[5]
