Parashuramrao Shrinivas I

Life Parashuramrao's father died the day he was born, enthroning him at birth. Parashuramrao (alias Thotepant) created riots with the help of Ramoshis kept by him in his service.

At only twelve days old, Parshuram Shrinivas (Thote Pant), became a Pratinidhi. His mother thought that he was an inauspicious child, having 'killed' his father, though he was actually born a day after the death. She shunned and neglected him. Even as a child, Thote Pant was strong-willed. He adopted the title of Pant in 1846, on which occasion he paid tribute to the Raja of Satara and married two wives, from whom he later separated.

He had no son and therefore, adopted a child of one of his relatives in 1843, who became Shrinivasrao Parshuram (1833–1901). Shrinivasrao Parshuram succeeded him and was considered an erudite and well-loved ruler. He introduced primary and secondary schools in his state, and was himself a Councillor in the Legislative Assembly of Bombay.
