Raghunathrao Bhat, also known as Ragho Ballal or Raghoba Dada[1] (18 August 1734 – 11 December 1783), was the younger son of Peshwa Bajirao I who served as the 11th Peshwa of the Maratha Empire for a brief period from 1773 to 1774. He succeeded his Nephew Narayanrao.
He was known for his various military campaigns that played an important role in Maratha expansion in Northern India. He also fought the Battle of Delhi (1757) agents the Rohillas and bringing Northwestern India and the surrounding territory under joint Maratha rule for a brief period.[2]He also engaged in various conflicts against the Durrani Empire such as the Siege of Sirhind and Battle of Peshawar in 1758.
Raghunathrao was involved in the Assassination of his Nephew Narayan Rao in 1773. After being removed from the position of Peshwa, he then sided with the East India Company in the First Anglo-Maratha War in 1775 in attempt to regain the role of Peshwa, however he was unsuccessful. He was succeeded by Madhavrao II in 1774.
