Sarangarh

Sarangarh was a Gond hill state in Chhattisgarh, ruled by a Raj Gond dynasty whose emblem was a turtle. It began as a dependency of the Kalachuri kingdom of Ratanpur.

Sarangarh later became one of the eighteen Garhjat feudatories of Sambalpur. Its rulers supplied troops for the kings of Sambalpur in their campaigns. Kalyan Sai ruled from 1736 to 1777, and the state came under British protection in 1818. Singram Singh became raja in 1829.
