Phulra was a minor princely state of both Pakistan and British India, located in the modern North-West Frontier Province. It was situated east of the nearby princely Amb. Both states ceased to exist in 1950 when they were merged into the North-West Frontier Province. There is some dispute as to whether Phulra ranked as a full princely state or as a minor noble estate (jagir) of the Indian Empire.

History

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 the North-West Frontier Province.

Today the former area of Phulra forms a Union Council of the tehsil of Mansehra.

Government

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