Pathari is the northern of the Badoh–Pathari twin villages. It was a part of an ancient city with many Hindu and Jain temples whose ruins are spread over a large area. The oldest surviving monuments here from from the 6th to 9th-century. After the collapse of the Mughal Empire, Pathari was taken over by the Hindu Sindhia dynasty. During the colonial era, with British East India company's intervention, Sindha was forced to award about 22 square miles of Pathari jagir under the control of Nawab Muhammad Khan in 1794. The Pathari Nawabs incurred enormous debt, and the colonial British administration removed them from power in 1895. The state of Gwalior thereafter assumed administration of Pathari, surveyed and initiated restoration of historic Hindu and Jain sites. Pathari is now a part of the Vidisha district.
