'''Krishnajirao III''' (12 May 1932 – 21 January 1999), belonging to the [[Pawar|Puar]] dynasty of the [[Marathas]], was the third and last reigning Maharaja of [[Dewas State]] (senior), reigning from 23 March 1947 to 27 June 1948. The only son of Sir Vikramsinhrao, Maharaja of Dewas, he was 15 years old when his father abdicated to become [[Chhatrapati]] [[Shahaji II]] [[Bhonsle]], [[Maharaja]] of [[Kolhapur (princely state)|Kolhapur]]. As such, he ruled Dewas under the regency of his mother, [[Maharani]] Pramilabai (born 4 August 1910) for the brief time between his succession and [[Partition of India|Indian independence]] on 15 August 1947. On 27 June 1948, Dewas and other [[Maratha Empire|Maratha kingdoms]] merged to form the Madhya Bharat Union. Derecognised by the [[Government of India]] in 1971 as a ruler, he lived a quiet life until his death at the age of 66 on 21 January 1999. He was succeeded by his only son, [[Tukojirao IV]].<br />
