Pawar
Pawar (also spelled as Pavar and Puar) is an Indian surname found among the Maratha, Mahar or Koli people in Maharashtra.The Maratha Pawars, in particular, claim descent from the Parmar clan of Rajputs. Historical accounts also link the Pawar lineage to the Puru tribe mentioned in Greek records during Alexander’s invasion of India. Over the centuries, the Pawar clan migrated from regions such as Malwa and Ujjain, eventually spreading to Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
