History
Pathari's royal house was founded in 1794 as a jagir[2] by a Pashtun of the Barakzai faction from Afghanistan, who rose through the ranks of the Mughal Empire.
Following Indian independence in 1947, the last ruler of Pathari signed the instrument of accession to the Union of India on 15 June 1948.[3] The former state was incorporated into the new state of Madhya Bharat, which subsequently became Madhya Pradesh state on 1 November 1956.
