The Principality of Aundh covered an area of 1298 square kilometers with the population of 88,762 in 1941.{{Sfn|Rothermund|1983|p=9}}

The capital of the state was [[Aundh, Satara|Aundh]].{{Sfn|Rothermund|1983|p=9}}

==History==
Aundh was a [[Jagir ]]granted by [[Sambhaji|Chhatrapati Sambhaji]] to [[Parshuram Pant Pratinidhi|Parshuram Trimbak Pant Pratinidhi]], who was a general, administrator and later [[Pratinidhi]] of the [[Maratha Empire]] during the reign of [[Sambhaji|Chhatrapati Sambhaji]] and [[Rajaram I|Chhatrapati Rajaram]].{{Sfn|Bond|2006|p=773}} He played a crucial role in re-capturing [[Panhala Fort]], [[Ajinkyatara]] (at Satara), Bhupalgad forts from [[Mughals]] during period of 1700–1705.<ref>{{cite book|title=A military history of medieval India|author=Gurcharn Singh Sandhu
|publisher=Vision Books|year=2003|page=648}}</ref>

After the fall of Peshwa rule, the British East India company entered separate treaties in 1820 with all the Jagirdars who were nominally subordinate to the Raja of [[Satara state|Satara]].<ref name="Kulkarni1995">{{cite book|author=Sumitra Kulkarni|title=The Satara Raj, 1818-1848: A Study in History, Administration, and Culture|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SYOSHaZnBy8C&pg=PR9|year=1995|publisher=Mittal Publications|isbn=978-81-7099-581-4|page=18}}</ref> Aundh became a princely state when Satara state was abolished by the British under the [[Doctrine of lapse]].
The last ruler of the Aundh was [[Bhawanrao Shriniwasrao Pant Pratinidhi|Raja Shrimant Bhawanrao Shriniwasrao Pant Pratinidhi]] ("Bala Sahib"). The state joined the [[Dominion of India|Union of India]] on 8 March 1948.<ref>{{cite web|title=Aundh Princely State|url=http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/ips/a/aundh.html|access-date=11 August 2017|archive-url=https://archive.today/20180808230903/http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/ips/a/aundh.html|archive-date=8 August 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>{{Sfn|Rothermund|1983|p=xvii}}
