Savanur State,[1] Nawab of Savanur was one of the princely states in British India. The last ruler of the state acceded to the Dominion of India on 8 March 1948, becoming part of the Bombay State. Later in 1956, it transferred to Mysore State in what is now Karnataka.

Savanur is also famous for Baobab trees planted there in ancient period. It is locally called Dodda Hunise Mara.[2][3]
