The Bansi Surajpura Raj, also known as the Bansi Surajpura Estate, was a large zamindari estate located in Bihar (with the exception of two villages in the United Provinces) ruled by the Kayastha Rajas of Bansi Surajpura. The estate yielded a revenue of ₹200,000 or more in the early 1900s, making it wealthier than the vast majority of princely states, such as the Pataudi State. Raja Radhika Raman Prasad Sinha was the last ruling Raja of Surajpura.
