Part of Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Documents of Maratha History

'The Historical Account of the Expedition of Sudasew Chimnajie commonly called Bhou or Sudoban to the North India or Hindostan And of his total Defeat of Death in the great Battle of Panniput'. This document relates the expedition of Sadashiv Chimanji Bhausaheb to Panipat in 1761. According to Kulkarni, this version of the bakhar or report was first written between July and December 1761 by Raghunath Yadev Chitragupt for his master the Prime Minister of Kolhapur state. The bakhar ends with the award of the robes of the Peshwa's office to Madhav Rao in 20 July 1761. It describes the battle of Panipat including those who died and were taken prisoner. It is believed to be the earliest version of this bakhar. The band has Arabic script containing the date November 1788.
The plan of Aurangabad is in colour with place names in Marathi and Arabic script, measuring 84 x 64 cm.
