During AH 1172 (~1760 CE), the Bagalkot region in present-day Karnataka was under the influence of the Maratha Confederacy, administered nominally by the Peshwas. Local authority was exercised by Maratha sardars, notably the Ghorpade family of Mudhol, who held hereditary estates and managed revenue collection. The period was marked by Maratha consolidation in northern Karnataka, establishing administrative control and military presence while integrating local chiefs into their confederacy network. Coins and inscriptions from this era reflect the Maratha administrative and fiscal structures, showing a blend of central authority and regional autonomy
