The correct answer is option 4: Peshwas. Pune was once known as the capital of the Peshwas. The Peshwas were the prime ministers of the Maratha Empire from the 18th to the early 19th century. They held significant power and influence during this time and established their capital in Pune. The Peshwas played a crucial role in expanding the Maratha Empire and consolidating their control over various regions in India. Pune flourished under their rule and became a center of culture, politics, and trade. The Peshwas` reign in Pune ended after the defeat in the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1818, when Pune came under British control.
