The Orissa Tributary States, also known as the Gadajats (ଗଡ଼ଜାତ)[1] and as the Orissa Feudatory States,[2] were a group of princely states of British India now part of the present-day Indian state of Odisha.
The Orissa Tributary States were located in the Garhjat Hills, the hilly and former heavily forested region of eastern Orissa, on the border with present-day Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand states.
