The '''Hathwa Raj''' (also known as the Hathua Estate or Kalyanpur chieftaincy) was one of the most prominent, wealthy, and historically significant [[zamindari]] estates in the Saran division of Bihar, India. Functioning as a semi-autonomous chieftaincy during the Mughal era and later as a premier zamindari under British colonial administration, the estate is renowned for its vast wealth, its deep genealogical history, and its socio-cultural impact on the region. | The '''Hathwa Raj''' (also known as the Hathua Estate or Kalyanpur chieftaincy) was one of the most prominent, wealthy, and historically significant [[zamindari]] estates in the Saran division of Bihar, India.
