Originally created in 1772 by a grant from the Peshwa, the state was later divided into two parts, one of which, called "Shedbal", lapsed to the British government in 1857. In 1855 the remaining state of Kurundwad was further divided between a senior (area of 185 miles²) branch, Kurundvad Senior,〔(Kurundwad Senior (Princely State) )〕 and a junior (area of 114 miles²) branch, Kurundvad Junior.〔(Kurundwad Junior (Princely State) )〕 The territory of both was widely scattered among other native states and British districts. According to the 1901 census, the senior branch had the population of 42,474; and that of the junior branch was 34,003. The chiefs of both the branches were Brahmans by caste, belonging to the Patwardhan family. Both the branches had their residence in the town of Kurundwad which had the population of 10,415 in 1901. The last ruler (junior line) was Major His Highness Raja Shrimant Raghunathrao Ganpatrao (Dadasaheb) Patwardhan, ADC to the 1st President of India, Recipient of the Independence Medal, Recipient of King George V Silver Jubilee Medal & King George VI Coronation Medal (Distingtion ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kuruntwad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
