Archives present that Indore existed as a trading hub between the Deccan and Delhi in the 16th Century. The city came under the authority of the Maratha Empire on 18th May 1724, as the Maratha ruler Baji Rao Peshwa gained full control of the Malwa territory. Under British imperialism, Indore was a princely state, with the decoration of a 19 Gun Salute (21 locally) and under the domain of the Maratha Holkar Dynasty till the advent of Independence in 1947. Indore also served as the capital of Madhya Pradesh from 1950 to 1956.
