Vishwasrao Bhat (27 July 1742 – 14 January 1761) was the eldest son and heir of Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao of the Maratha Empire. From an early age, he was trained in administration and military strategy, reflecting the Peshwa tradition of preparing the heir-apparent for leadership. He actively participated in Maratha military campaigns in the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent, including the Battle of Udgir and conflicts against the Nizam of Hyderabad.
Vishwasrao is most notably remembered for his role in the Third Battle of Panipat (1761), where he fought on the front lines and was killed during the engagement. His death represented a significant blow to Maratha morale and leadership, as he was the designated successor to the Peshwa, and it preceded the eventual defeat of Maratha forces in the battle. Vishwasrao is commemorated in historical accounts for his bravery, leadership potential, and the personal sacrifice he made during one of the most consequential conflicts in 18th-century India.
