Pahra was a princely estate (Jagir) in India during the British Raj.[1] It was under the Bundelkhand Agency of the Central India Agency until 1896 when it was transferred to the Baghelkhand Agency.[2] In 1931 it was transferred back to the Bundelkhand Agency.
Pahra had an area of 69.92 km². In 1931 the population of the small state was of 3,496 inhabitants distributed in 31 villages. The principality was merged into the Indian state of Vindhya Pradesh in 1948[3] and is now part of the present-day state of Madhya Pradesh.
