Janoji I (Janoji Bhonsle, mr; reigned 14 February 1755 – 21 May 1772) was the second Maharaja of Nagpur from the Bhonsle dynasty.[1] He was one of the four legitimate sons of Raghuji I. Following a succession dispute with his brothers, Janoji ascended the throne in 1755, succeeding his father as the ruler of Nagpur.[2] He also participated in the conflict between Peshwa Madhavrao and the Nizam of Hyderabad, aligning himself with Raghunathrao. In 1765, both Madhavrao and Raghunathrao later turned against him and jointly sacked and burned the city of Nagpur. Janoji eventually agreed to pay tribute to Madhavrao.[3] He died in 1772 without leaving an heir and was succeeded by his brother, Mudhoji I.[4]
