The Kingdom of Malwa was a monarchy in central India that was established by Jayavarman of the House of Aulikara in 350 AD. It was ruled by multiple royal houses discontinuously until it was finally conquered in 1562 by Akbar the Great, the Shahenshah of Hindustan, and annexed as the Malwa Province.[1][2][3]
The Kingdom of Avanti of ancient India had been based in the region where the Kingdom of Malwa later came up. The Kingdom of Avanti was conquered by Indo-Scythia in 61 BC. Following this, the region was ruled by the Malava republic. During the period, the region's name gradually changed to Malava or Malwa. In 350 AD, Jayavarman established the Kingdom of Malwa in region and founded the House of Aulikara. Yashodharman, the King of Malwa between 515 and 545 AD significantly expanded the kingdom and conquered the territories of Huns. Following his death, Krishnaraja became the King of Malwa and founded the House of Kalachuri in 550 AD.
The Kingdom of Malwa was conquered and ruled by Harsha, the Emperor of Kannauj between 625 and 647 AD after which regained it's independence until being conquered by the Gurjara Empire in 755 AD. Hereafter it formed a part of the Gurjara Empire until it regained its independence in 948 under the House of Paramara until it was conquered by the Delhi Sultanate in 1305. In 1401, the governor of Malwa declared his independence and established the Sultanate of Malwa under the House of Khalji which reigned till its conquest by Akbar, the Shahenshah of Hindustan in 1562.
