### [c19.s5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1923.c19.s5.3)

The Peshwas went out on tour every year and received complaints and punished offenders. In the month of Rabilaval of San Ihide Arbain Maya wa Alf only (1740-41) Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao visited no less than eleven places (Pali, and some neighbouring forts and villages Parli, Vadvathar, Poona, Garade, Pargaon, Bhuinj and Satara).²⁴ Nor was this journey of exceptional length. Similar tours were made almost every year if not every month. Even the worthless Baji Rao Raghunath used to go out on these tours and on one occasion he punished some miscreants.²⁵ The Maratha princes were always accessible even to the poorest of their subjects—and Broughton, by no means an admirer of things Maratha, was struck with the ease and informality with which Daulat Rao Sindhia could be approached even while on an expedition by the seekers of justice.²⁶
