History

The Ambliara State was ruled by a Chauhan family that is categorized among the "Kshatriya Koli" Thakordas (minor lords).[1] According to the Gujarat State Gazetteers, the rulers were "Khant Kolis" by caste, and their family claimed descent from the Chauhans of Sambhar and Ajmer.[2][3][4]

A single, undated one paisa banknote was issued by the state.[5]

Ambliara State was merged with Baroda State under the Attachment Scheme on 10 July 1943.[6] Finally, Baroda State acceded to the Indian Union on 1 May 1949. The state had enjoyed a Privy Purse of Rs 26000.

gollark: How do you actually say "ninja of the clouds" or something though?
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: Wait, wouldn't "ninja of the clouds" be genitive, not just... accusative plural, or something?
gollark: I don't actually know. It just sounds German and it would sort of make sense in context.
