The Kingdom of Malwa was ruled by kings discontinuously from 350 to 1462.

Later Gupta dynasty (575–606)

Paramara dynasty (948–1305)

Main article: Paramara dynasty

According to historian Kailash Chand Jain, "Knowledge of the early Paramara rulers from Upendra to Vairisimha is scanty; there are no records, and they are known only from later sources."[1] An inscription from Udaipur indicates that the Paramara dynasty survived until 1310, at least in the north-eastern part of Malwa. A later inscription shows that the area had been captured by the Delhi Sultanate by 1338.[2]

The Paramara rulers mentioned in the various inscriptions and literary sources include:
