Baji Rao II
In May 1802, he marched towards Pune, the seat of the Peshwa. This gave rise to the Battle of Poona in which the Peshwa Baji Rao II was defeated. After the defeat, the Peshwa fled Pune. The Conquest of Pune left Holkar in charge of the administration and he took some constructive steps to rebuild the Maratha Empire.
