Dewas State was a territory within Western India, which was the seat of two Maratha princely states during the British Raj: 'Dewas Junior' - Jivaji Rao ('Dada Saheb') and Dewas Senior - Tukoji Rao ('Baba Saheb'). On 12 December 1818 Dewas State became a British protectorate.
Maharaja Shrimant Vikram Singh Rao II Puar is present titular head of the Kshatriya Maratha-Rajput Puar (Pawar/Parmar) dynasty of Dewas.
The seats were established in 1728 by two brothers from the Puar clan, who advanced into Malwa with the Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao, and divided the territory among themselves after the Maratha conquest.
The two Rajas heading Dewas states both lived in separate residences in the town of Dewas, and ruled over separate areas.
