Under the Peshwas in the eighteenth century, which city became the capital of the Maratha kingdom?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Pune
After Shivaji’s time, the Peshwas (principal ministers) became the real leaders of the Marathas, and Pune became the capital of the Maratha kingdom. Nagpur, Gwalior and Indore were the seats of other Maratha chiefs (the Bhonsles, Sindhias and Holkars).
