Tarakote formerly Shergarh-Tarakote Estate was a quasi princely state in Korei, Odisha which was established under the Mughal Empire as a Sarakaar and was later reduced to an intermediary princely estate during the subsequent Maratha and the British rule. Its capital was at Tarakote, in the western part of the present day Korei block.[1][2]
The state was bounded in the north by Baitarani River, Labanga hill in the west, Madala hill in the east and by the Brahmani river in the south.[3][2]
