On 9 January 1760, the forces of Ahmad Shah Durrani, the ruler of the Durrani Empire, achieved a significant victory over the Indian Maratha Empire in the Battle of Barari Ghat.
This clash, a precursor to the infamous Third Battle of Panipat, saw the Afghan army, bolstered by regional allies, decisively defeating the Marathas.
The battle's outcome significantly weakened Maratha power in northern India, setting the stage for the subsequent confrontations that would reshape the subcontinent's political landscape.
