Who established Dhar State?

Dhar State was founded in 1729 by Udaji Rao Pawar, a distinguished Maratha (Pawar/Puar) general who received the territory of Dhar as a grant from the Maratha Chhatrapati. He became the first ruler of the Dhar princely state, and the Pawar (Puar) dynasty he established continued to rule Dhar until the integration of the princely states into the Indian Union. Hence, the correct answer is Udaji Rao Pawar.
