Maratha Puar rulers of Dhar
The Dhar dynasty, which claims descent from the Paramara dynasty, was founded in 1729 by Udaji Rao Puar a distinguished Maratha general who received the territory as a grant from Peshwas. During the Pindhari raids, the state's territory was whittled away until it was restored in size in 1819 when it was taken under protection by the British. The name of the state was taken from old city of Dharlong famous as the capital of Parmar Rajputs. The state was confiscated for rebellion in 1857 but was restored in 1864 with the usual reduction in territory.

Maratha Puar rulers of Dewas Senior & Junior
Udaji Rao Puar established himself at Dhar in Malwa in 1728, but in 1732 fell out of favor with the Peshwa and was imprisoned; his younger brother Anand Rao Puar became the Raja of Dhar, and his descendants ruled the state until Indian Independence.
Two Puar brothers, Tukaji Rao (senior) and Jivaji Rao (junior), established themselves as rulers of Dewas in 1728; their descendants divided the state in two, ruled by senior and junior branches of the family descended from the two brothers. The Puar rulers of Chhatarpur took control of the state in 1785, and became a princely state of British India in 1806. The Puar Maharaja acceded to the Government of India on 1 January 1950.
