Indore:
Indore traces its roots to its 16th-century founding as a trading hub between the
Deccan
and
Delhi
. The city and its surroundings came under
Maratha Empire
on 18 May 1724 after
Peshwa
Baji Rao I
assumed the full control of
Malwa
. During the days of the British Raj,
Indore State
was a 19
Gun Salute
princely state
(a rare high rank) ruled by the
Maratha
Holkar
dynasty, until they acceded to the Union of
India
. Indore served as the capital of the
Madhya Bharat
from 1950 until 1956.
