DewasPostal Covers & Pre-1854 Postal History
Dewas (recorded under the same name) is a city on the Malwa plateau of Madhya Pradesh, once the seat of two Maratha princely states ruled jointly from a hilltop shrine. It lay on the routes of central India near Indore. In the era of the Company's Central India posts it served as a mail town, and its pre-1854 markings trace the posts of the Malwa country.
