This article appears in Volume V20, Page 930 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PATNA , one of the
Orissa
  tributary states in Bengal, with an area of 2399 sq. m. It lies in the basin of the
Mahanadi
  river, and is divided by a forest-clad hilly
tract
  into a northern and a southern portion, both of which are undulating and well cultivated. Pop. (1901), 277,748, showing a decrease of 16% in the decade, mainly due to the effects of
famine
  in 1900. Nearly the whole population consists of Oriyas. The
capital
  is Bolangir: pop. (1901), 3706. The
principal
  crop is
rice
 . The maharajas of Patna were formerly heads of a group of states known as the athara garhjat or " eighteen forts." They are Chauhban Rajputs, and claim to have been established in Patna for six centuries. Patna was the scene of a rebellion of the Khonds, followed by atrocities on the part of their rulers, in 1869, and, in consequence, came under British management in 1871. The maharaja Ramchandra Singh,. installed in 1894, was insane and put an end to his own life in the following year, whereupon his uncle, Lal Dalganjan Singh, became
chief
 , undertaking to administer with the assistance of a diwan or minister appointed by the British government. The
powers
  of this official were extended in 1900 after a serious outbreak of dacoity. Till 1905 the state was included in the Central Provinces.
