Shivajiraje
Bhosle
(February

3,
1680)

and

covered
much
of
the
Indian
subcontinent.

him
Shivarai,
Shivaji
Maharaj
or
Raje.
This
scion
of
the
Bhosle
clan
established
the
Maratha
Swaraj
through
a
historic
struggle
against
the
Adilshahi
of
Bijapur
and
the
Mughal
Empire.
An
independent
Maratha
kingdom
with
Raigad
as

jointly
referred
to
as
Shiva
Shambhu.

Shivaji
built
a
powerful
and
progressive
state
on
the
strength
of
a
disciplined
army
and
well-organized
administrative
system.
He
successfully
used
the
guerilla
poetry
technique
that
used
geography,
surprisingly
fast
movements
and
precise
attacks
that
demoralized
stronger
enemies.
Shivaji
Maharaj
raised
an
army
of
one
lakh
soldiers
from
a
small
force
of
2,000
soldiers
inherited
from
his
father.
Apart
from
repairing
forts
in
the
coastal
and
interior
regions,

Shivaji
was
born
in
1630.
Shivaji's
exact
date
of
birth
was
once
a
point
of
disagreement
among
historians.
That
dispute
was
later
settled.
The
Maharashtra
state
government
accepted
Phalgun

Shaka
1551
(Friday
19th
February
1630)
as
Shiva
Raya's
birth
date
in
2001.

Accordingly,
the
Maharashtra
government
declares
a
holiday
on
19th
February
every
year.
Other
possible
dates
include
6
April
1627
(Vaisakh
Shuddha
Tritiya)
as
a
date
of
birth.
Accordingly,
many
people
outside
Maharashtra
observe
Vaishakh
Shuddha
Tritiya
as
Shiva
Jayanti,
and
some
people
in
Maharashtra
observe
Phalgun
Vadya

as
Shiva
Jayanti
as
per
the
Marathi
Panchang.

According
to
a
legend,
the

was
named
'Shivaji'
because
Jijabai
prayed

Shivai
Devi
at
Shivneri
Fort
to
give
him
a
strong
son.
