Bastar state was a princely state in India during the British Raj. It was founded in the early 14th century,[1] supposedly by a brother of the last ruler of the Kakatiya dynasty proper, Prataparudra II.

It is today used to refer the same region, called Bastar district in Chhattisgarh state.[2]

In the early 19th century the state became part of the Central Provinces and Berar under the British Raj, and acceded to the Union of India on 1 January 1948, to become part of the Madhya Pradesh in 1956, and later part of the Bastar district of Chhattisgarh state in 2000. The current ceremonial ruler is Maharaja Kamal Chandra Bhanj Deo of Bastar, of the Bhanj dynasty.
