Murari Rao

Murari Rao

Murari Rao Ghorpade, known simply as Murari Rao, was a soldier and army general in the Maratha Army who administered the fort of Tiruchirappalli and surrounding areas from 1741 to 1743. His administration marks the only period of Maratha occupation in Tiruchirappalli. Murari Rao occupied Tiruchirappalli at the head of a strong Maratha army after defeating and imprisoning the Carnatic general Chanda Sahib. However, he was forced to relinquish the fort after administering it for a period of two years.
