short essay / note on bajirao 1 death
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
Introduction:-
Baji Rao I, also known as Bajirao Ballal, was the 7th Peshwa (Prime Minister) of the Maratha empire. In his 20-year military career, he never lost a battle and is widely considered as one of the best Indian cavalry generals. His relationship with his half-Muslim wife Mastani, a subject of controversy, has been adapted in Indian novels and cinema.
Death of Baji Rao 1:-
Baji Rao's body was exhausted due to ceaseless wars and military campaigns. He caught a virulent fever when he was encamped in Raverkhedi and died on 28 April 1740. He was cremated that day on the Narmada River. Balaji Baji Rao ordered Ranoji Shinde to build a chhatri as a memorial. The memorial is enclosed by a dharmashala. The compound has two temples, dedicated to Nilkantheshwara Mahadeva (Shiva) and Rameshvara (Rama).
