The Maratha invasion on Awadh in 1737, led by Peshwa Bajirao and Malhar Rao Holkar, involved campaigns such as Malhar Rao's invasion of Bhadawar, a Rajput vassal of the Mughal Empire, resulting in the Battle of Jalesar. Nawab Saadat Ali Khan of Awadh defeated Malhar Rao at Jalesar, compelling the Marathas to retreat. Subsequently, Bajirao raided Delhi, the Mughal capital, defeating a Mughal contingent at the outskirts but withdrawing upon the approach of Vizier Qamaruddin Khan. During the retreat march, Marathas, including Peshwa wife Mastani, were defeated at a location called Badhsahpur.
