Imperio maratha
The region came under the rule of Chhatrapati Shivaji, and later his sons as the Maratha Empire rose from 1674 to 1760. When Shahu I died in 1749, he appointed Peshwa as the head of the Maratha Empire with certain conditions. The third battle of Panipat in 1761 crippled the Maratha Empire and weakened the power of Peshwa, but Berar remained under Maratha rule.
