Taraon, also spelt 'Tarahwan' and 'Tarahuhān', was a princely estate (Jagir) in India during the British Raj.〔(Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 23, p. 250. )〕 It had an area of 67 square miles and its population was distributed in 13 villages. The capital of the state was in Pathraundi, located about 1.5 km from Karwi railway station of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway.〔Great Britain India Office. ''The Imperial Gazetteer of India.'' Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1908〕 Taraon Estate was merged into the Indian state of Vindhya Pradesh in 1948. The area covered by the former state is now in modern Chitrakoot district, at the southern end of Uttar Pradesh. ==History== Taraon was founded in 1812 and was located in Taraon Fort, which had been a former possession of the Rajas of Panna State. It was one of the Chaube Jagirs. It was under the Bundelkhand Agency of the Central India Agency until 1896 when it was transferred to the Baghelkhand Agency. In 1931 Taraon was transferred back to the Bundelkhand Agency.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taraon State」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
