Phaltan in Bombay
Phaltan. — Native State within the Agency of Satara, Bombay. Area, about 400 square miles ; pop. (1872), 59,124. The Phaltan family is of Rajput origin. One Padakla Jagdeo entered the service of the Emperor of Delhi, and on his death in battle, in 1327, the Emperor gave the title of Naik and a grant of lands to his son Nimbrajf, who died in 1349. In 1825, the State was attached by the Raja of Satara. In 1827, Banaji Nayak was permitted to succeed on payment of a relief of ^3000. On his death in the following year, Phaltan was again attached by the Satara Government till 1841, when the widow of the deceased chief was allowed to adopt a son—the present chief of Phaltan—on payment of a relief of ^3000. The present ruler (1876-77), who ranks as a ' First-Class Sardar' in the Deccan, is Madhav Rao Naik Nimbalkar Desmukh Jagirdar. He is a Hindu of the Rajput caste, thirty-nine years old, and administers his estate in person. He enjoys an estimated gross revenue of ^12,758, and pays a tribute of ^960. The family hold a title authorizing adoption. In matters of succession, they do not follow the custom of primogeniture." (The Imperial Gazetteer of India, Vol. 7)
