Tulsipur State was a small kingdom in the Awadh region of India that became the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh under the British Raj.

Tulsipur also extended north beyond Dundwa Range of the Siwaliks to include the Dang and Deukhuri Valleys later part of the Kingdom of Nepal.

Until annexation in 1786[1] the Tulsipur kingdom counted as one of the Baise (22) confederated principalities centered in the Hill Region.

[2] The ruling family engaged in internecine warfare for control of the estate during the 1850s[4] and, in 1856, an armed force was sent by the British East India Company (EIC) to put pressure on the raja.

[5] During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, 500 of the talukdar's men had formed a part of the rebel force at the Siege of Lucknow[6] and the Rani of Tulsipur (Ishwari Devi) was a prominent anti-establishment figure.
