ODEPOOR CHOTA, sometimes called Makur, a district of British India, in the Rewa-Caunta, province of Guzerat, bounded N. by Deoghur-Barreca, E. by Allee-Mohun, S. by the districts of Akraunce and Mewasce, and W. by the territory of the Guicowar. It lies between N. Lat. 22. 2. and 22. 32., E. Long. 73. 47. and 74. 20.; and has an area of 1059 square miles. It is watered by the Orsung, an affluent of the Nerbudda. It was formerly an independent state under British protection; but in 1855, on the discovery of a systematic bribery of the natives attached to the political agent's office, the state was annexed to the British possessions. The capital is Oodepoor, a town on the Orsung, 105 miles S.E. of Ahmedabad, with a population of 6000.
