Shivaji Bhosale I, who passed away on 3 April 1680 at Fort
Raigad, aged 50, was an Indian warrior-king and a member of the Bhonsle Maratha
clan. Shivaji carved out an enclave from the declining Adilshahi sultanate of
Bijapur that formed the genesis of the Maratha Empire. In 1674, he was formally
crowned as the chhatrapati (emperor) of his realm at Raigad.
