Bhor was one of the princely states of British India, under the Poona political agency of the Bombay Presidency, and later the Deccan States Agency. It was one of the Satara Jagirs, and was situated among the higher peaks of the Western Ghats. Its Hindu rulers, of the brahmin caste, used the title "Pant Sachiv" and were entitled to a hereditary 9-gun salute. The state covered an area of 2357 square kilometers, and had a population of 137,268 in 1901. Its flag was a red swallow-tailed pennant.
The state was founded by Shri Shankarji Narayan in the year 1697, and was acceded to the Dominion of India on 8th March 1948. It is currently a part of Maharashtra state. The town of Bhor, once the capital of the princely state, is located about 40 kilometres south of Pune, adjacent to Bhatghar lake.
