The '''Battle of Panchgaon''' was a battle in 1775 for accession of throne of the [[Nagpur Kingdom]]. It was between the brothers [[Mudhoji Bhonsle]] and Sabaji, occurring after the death of their brother Janoji.<br />
<br />
The closing scene of the contest of the throne between Mudhoji and Sabaji was on the battlefield of [[Panchgaon]], six miles south of [[Nagpur]]. The fortune of the day had declared for Sabaji, and Mudhoji was being surrounded by his brother's troops. Flushed with the fight and with victory, Sabaji drove his [[elephant]] against that on which his brother was seated, and, called on him to surrender. A pistol shot was the only reply. One brother had slain the other, and gained the undisputed regency on behalf of his infant son [[Raghoji II Bhonsle|Raghoji II]] who was Janoji's adopted heir, and the title of Sena Dhurandhar.<ref>Sir Richard Jenkins, p.&nbsp;51</ref><ref>Grant Duff, Volume II, p.&nbsp;36</ref><br />

Mudhoji was finally able to pull himself out of this situation, when he killed Sabaji in the Battle of Panchgaon near Nagpur on 26 January 1775.<ref>{{cite book |title=Maharashtra State Gazetteers: Bhandara |date=1979 |publisher=Directorate of Government Print., Stationery and Publications, Maharashtra State |page=123 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CAtuAAAAMAAJ&dq=Battle+of+Panchgaon+1775&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=+Panchgaon |language=en}}</ref> Muhammad Yusuf Gardi, one of the chief assassinators of [[Narayanrao]] was present in this battle on behalf of Mudhoji.<br />
