From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term "Powar" refers to a Rajput clan, specifically a branch of the Rajputs who were influential in certain regions of Maharashtra Madhya Pradesh. They were known for their martial prowess and played a role in the political and military history of India. The Powar clan, like many Rajput clans, participated in various conflicts throughout history. Here are some notable wars and battles involving the Powars:

1. **Battles against the Mughals**: The Powars fought against Mughal forces during their expansion in central India, especially in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

2. **Conflicts with the Marathas**: As the Maratha Empire rose, the Powars sometimes found themselves in conflict with Maratha forces, particularly during the struggle for dominance in the Deccan region.

3. **Battle of Sarangpur (1670)**: This battle involved the Powars fighting against the forces of the Mughal Empire, showcasing their resistance to Mughal authority.

4. **War of the Deccan (1680-1700)**: The Powars were part of the broader conflict involving multiple Rajput clans and the Marathas against Mughal rule.

The Powar caste is primarily found in Maharashtra and surrounding regions. Precise population figures can vary, but estimates suggest that there are several hundred thousand individuals belonging to the Powar community
