Raghuji I (Raghuji Bhonsle, mr; 1695 – 14 February 1755)[1][2] was a Maratha general who is credited with the Maratha expansion into Gondwana, Odisha, and Bengal, thereby establishing Maratha supremacy in these areas. He was granted the title of Senasaheb Subha, meaning "Lord of the Provinces and the Army," along with a saranjam in the Vidarbha region by Shahu I. He is regarded as the founder of the Kingdom of Nagpur.[3]
