Raipur district, like the rest of the Chhattisgarh plain, was once known as Dakshina Kosala and considered to be under Maurya Empire.

In the 7th century CE, the region was ruled by a Buddhist kingdom in Bhandak in modern-day Maharashtra and was described by Xuanzang.

A branch of this family later migrated to Sirpur in present-day Mahasamund district, and later took control of the entirety of Dakshina Kosala.

The Haihayas or Kalachuris, who claimed descent from the Chedis, later took control of the region in the early 9th century.

By the 12th century, many small portions of their realm were given as fiefdoms to minor princes of the family and their power declined.

By the early 18th century, the Kalachuris had become the overlords of a large number of divided petty chiefdoms, but with little authority.

After Anandi Bai's death in the early 19th century, the region was ruled by a series of governors under a very loose control of Nagpur and often exploited the office to become rich.

The country returned to rule by subahs from Nagpur in 1830, but Raipur was too remote to have much contact with the government.
