Explanation

Under the Peshwas, particularly Balaji Baji Rao, the Maratha Empire stretched to Peshawar in the northwest. The Maratha forces under Raghunath Rao and later Malhar Rao Holkar reached Peshawar in the 1750s, making it one of the northernmost points of Maratha expansion. This demonstrated the extensive reach of Maratha military power.
