Miraj Junior was one of two Maratha princely states during the British Raj: 'Miraj Senior' and Miraj Junior. The two states separated in 1820. It was under the southern division of the Bombay Presidency, forming part of the southern Mahratta Jagirs, and later the Deccan States Agency.[1]
Miraj Junior measured 211 square miles (550 km2) in area. According to the 1901 census, the population was 35,806. In 1901, the state enjoyed revenue estimated at £27,000, and paid £400 in tribute to the British Raj.[1] The Raja resided in the town of Bhudgaon (population 3,591 in 1901).
