Phulra پھلڑہ

Phulra was a minor princely state of both Pakistan and British India, located in the former North West Frontier (NWFP) province now Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. It was situated east of the nearby princely Amb. In 1950, Phulra was merged into the NWFP as was some territory of Amb. There is some dispute as to whether Phulra ranked as a full princely state or was a landed estate or (jagir) of the sort given to nobles in the Indian Empire.
The state was founded in 1828 when Mir Painda Khan, the ruler of Amb, granted the area of Phulra as a small principality to his brother, Madad Khan. Phulra was recognised as a princely state in 1919 and 1921 in the official gazette of the Indian Empire. In 1947, the last ruler of Phulra acceded to Pakistan, but the state was extinguished in 1950, becoming part of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Today the former area of Phulra forms a Union Council of the tehsil of Mansehra.

The state was ruled by a collateral line of the hereditary Tanoli rulers of Amb. The rulers were styled as Khan.
