The '''Maratha Resurrection''' was the period between the [[Third Battle of Panipat]] on January 14, 1761<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Shah-Alam-II|title=Shah ʿĀlam II | Mughal emperor | Britannica}}</ref> and capture of [[Najibabad]] in 1772.

In the [[Third Battle of Panipat]], the [[Maratha Empire]] suffered a serious blow at the hands of the Muslim alliance of the [[Durrani Empire]], [[Mughal Empire]], under [[Shah Alam II|Prince Ali Gohar]] later known as (Shah Alam II) (r. 1760{{Snd}}1806)and his [[Nawab of Awadh]], and [[Rohillas]] under [[Najib ad-Dawlah]]. Their power was virtually wiped out of [[North India|northern India]] and the confederacy itself experienced fragmentation. The [[Bhonsle]]s of Nagpur did not participate and tried to remain aloof of the aftermath as well.

After the death of Peshwa [[Balaji Bajirao|Balaji Baji Rao Bhat]], [[Madhavrao I]] became [[Peshwa]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r5NRDQAAQBAJ&q=%22Maratha+Resurrection%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA326|title = Indian civilization|last1 = Deepak|first1 = S.|date = 25 October 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title= History of India |page=  }}</ref> under the regency of [[Raghunathrao|Raghunathrao Bhat]]. Despite quarrels with Raghunathrao, the young Peshwa, along with [[Mahadji Shinde]] and [[Nana Fadnavis]], were able to resurrect Maratha supremacy, both in [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] and [[Delhi]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/brunch/sample-the-calm-of-these-off-the-tourist-map-destinations-just-a-drive-away-from-mumbai/story-axpXToWQjy9HmGP9kukTTJ.html|title = Sample the calm of these off-the-tourist-map destinations|date = 26 March 2016}}</ref>

[[Madhavrao I|Madhavrao Peshwa]]'s victory over the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]] and [[Hyder Ali]] of [[Mysore State|Mysore]] in southern India proved Maratha dominance in the Deccan. On the other hand, [[Mahadji]]'s victory over Jats of Mathura, Rajputs of Rajasthan and Pashtun-Rohillas of [[Rohilkhand]] (in the western part of present-day [[Uttar Pradesh]] state) re-established the Marathas in the northern India. With the [[Capture of Delhi, 1771|Capture of Delhi in 1771]] and the capture of Najibabad in 1772 and treatise with [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Shah Alam II]] as a restricted monarch to the throne under Maratha suzerainty, the resurrection of Maratha power in the North was complete.
