[edit] Origin and History
The Paramaras along with the Chauhans, the Pratiharas (Parihars) and the Solankis (Chalukyas), were one of the four agni kula ("fire born") clans of the Rajputs.
The Paramaras established themselves as the rulers of Malwa in Central India in the ninth century, ruling from their capital at Dhar.
King Bhoj, who ruled from about 1010 to 1060, was a great polymath and philosopher king of medieval India; his extensive writings cover philosophy, poetry, medicine, veterinary science, phonetics, yoga, and archery. Under his rule, Malwa became an intellectual center of India. Bhoj also founded the city of Bhopal to secure the eastern part of his kingdom. The Paramaras ruled until 1305, when Malwa was conquered by Ala ud din Khilji, the Khilji Sultan of Delhi.
The Ponwar clan of the Marathas, who ruled the states of Dewas, Dhar, and Rajgarh in Malwa and Chhatarpur in Bundelkhand from the 18th century to the mid-twentieth century, claimed the same descent as the Paramaras.
