'''Hari Rao Holkar''' (1795-1843), formally '''Maharajadhiraj Raj Rajeshwar Sawai Shri Hari Rao Holkar IX Bahadur''',{{cn|date=June 2020}} belonging to the [[Holkar]] dynasty of the [[Maratha]]s was Maharaja Holkar of [[Indore]] ([[Indore State|Hokar State]]) from 17 April 1834 until his death at the Juna Rajwada Palace in Indore on 24 October 1843. He was the grandson of [[Tukoji Rao Holkar]].<br />
<br />
<br />
Hari Rao's accession to the throne (''gaddi'') was the result of a popular uprising against the adoption and crowning of the child [[Marthand Rao Holkar]] by [[Krishna Bai Holkar]], the mother of the deceased Maharaja [[Malhar Rao Holkar III]]. In 1819, Hari Rao was involved in a power struggle with members of the royal family and was imprisoned at [[Maheshwar]] for leading an [[insurrection]]. After the crowning of Marthand Rao in January 1834, Hari was freed by supporters, who then convinced Krishna Bai to agree to his succession instead. He was subsequently adopted by the widow of the deceased Maharaja on 18 March and formally installed on the throne on 17 April 1834 at the Juna Rajwada Palace.<br />
<br />
The British Government remained neutral regarding these succession struggles. Later, however, as Hari Rao's health deteriorated, the [[British Resident]] pressed him to appoint an [[heir]]. On 2 July 1841, Hari Rao adopted [[Khande Rao Holkar II|Khande Rao Holkar]], the 11-year-old son of Bapuji Rao Holkar, a [[zemindar]] of Jotsikhera (near Indore). Soon after, when Hari Rao retired from public life due to his health, Lord Ellenborough, the Governor General, interceded to ensure the appointment of capable ministers to prevent supporters of Marthand Rao from challenging the succession.<br />
