Daphlapur State, also spelled Daflepur, was a petty princely state of British India. It was a former Maratha territory, one of the former Southern Maratha Jagirs. Daphlapur State and neighbouring Jath State were the only two states belonging to the Bijapur Agency under the Bombay Presidency, which later would become part of the Deccan States Agency.

The state had six villages with an area of only 249 km² and a population of 6,006 inhabitants in 1881.

History

The state was founded in 1680 as Daphlapur. Following British rule in the area it came under the collector of Bijapur District, together with larger Jath State. The third widow of the last ruler, Ranibai Lakshmibai Saheb, died without succession and the dynasty line of the state became extinguished. Then Daphlapur ended up being annexed by Jath State on 27 January 1917.

Rulers

The rulers of the state belonged to the Daphle dynasty and took the title of Deshmukh. The state was incorporated into Jath, whose rulers shared the same bloodline, owing to lack of succession
