Barwani State

The records of the state claim that Awasgarh had 51 Rana's however there is little information about their names or the dates they reigned in.

3 of Parsans descendants were Muslims although they followed their Hindu customs, the Rana's eventually converted back to Hinduism.

The 41st Rana Chandra Singh moved his capital to the safer position of Barwani.

The state lost most of its territory during the Maratha domination in the 17th century, however it never became tributary to any Major power.

The state lay in the Satpura Range south of the Narmada River.
