Panipat Campaign
When the Marathas under Sadashivrao went to North India, she escorted her husband. On the way to Panipat, she performed pilgrimage at
Malharrao Holkar on her escape route, who carried her off safely to the south of river Chambal.[1]
Death of her Husband and aftermath
Her husband, Sadashivrao Bhau died in the Third Battle of Panipat. For the rest of her life, she refused to be a widow (as she had promised her husband before the battle).[citation needed]
Death
She saw many ups and downs in the
Maratha Empire and died when Madhavrao I was in power. She died in Pune due to Pneumonia and was treated as Sati of Sadashivrao Bhau
after her death. She was cremated in Pune, however, the Marathas were not in a state to erect any monument of her. Her after-death rituals were done at her hometown, Pen.
