Janoji I (r. 14 February 1755 – 21 May 1772) was the 2nd Maharaja of Nagpur from the Senasahibsubha Bhonsle Dynasty.[5] He was one of four legitimate sons of Raghoji I. He succeeded his father in 1755 as Raja after succession conflicts with his other brothers.[6] He also took part in the wars between the Peshwa Madhavrao and the Nizam of Hyderabad on behalf of Raghunathrao, both of whom later jointly sacked and burnt Nagpur in 1765. Janoji eventually conceded to pay tribute to Madhavrao I.[7] He later died in 1772 without an heir and was succeeded by his brother Mudhoji I.[8]
