The Battle of Bhopal was fought on 24 December 1737 in Bhopal between the Maratha Confederacy and the combined army of the Mughal chiefs[9], Hyderabad State Rajput Kingdoms and Oudh State in which Marathas under the leadership of Peshwa Bajirao I were victorious.[10]
Reaching Delhi, the Nizam was joined by several other Mughal chiefs, and at the head of seventy thousand soldiers supported by enormous military supply he marched out to meet the Marathas.
