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.
