History
Berar is a Hindu kingdom in India.Little is known about the District's early history, but the river Wardha is mentioned as far back as the 2nd century B.C. Berar, the King of Vidharbha, is mentioned first. Later, Vidarbha (Berar) was divided into two kingdoms, each  ruling on one side of the river (between Berar and his cousin Madhavansena) (Wardha).Kings of the Chalukya and Radhtrakuta dynasties Wardha, along with the rest of Berar, was most likely ruled by the Chalukya Rajput dynasty, whose capital was in what is now Bijapur District and later Nasik, and whose reign lasted from from 550 to 750 A.D.
The Bahmani Kingdom Wardha was later absorbed into the territories of the Bahmani kings of Gul barga near Solapur and Bidar, who founded an independent principality in 1351 and were so named because the founder of their line, elected after Muhammad Tughlak's revolt, was either a Brahman or a Brahman's servant.
The Mughal Empire was one of the most powerful empires in the world. After a ninety-year existence, the Ellichpur kingdom was crushed by the king of Ahmadnagar in 1572, and Berar was  transferred from Ahmadnagar to the Emperor Akbar in around 1594.
The Invasion of the Maratha Empire The tract west of the Wardha included in Berar was finally given to Nagpur in 1822, with the Bhonslas retroceding the forts of Gawilgarh and Narnala and some other land to the Nizam at the same time.

In 1765, the Peshwa and Nizam forces marched into Wardha, looting the surrounding countryside and burning Nagpur in retaliation for Janoji-dishonesty I's in dealings with both of them.
