SOME
INFORMATION
Shivaji
Bhonsle (Marathi
1627/1630 –
3
April
1680)
was
an
Indian
warrior
king
and
a
member
of
the BhonsleMaratha
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 (monarch)
of
his
realm
at Raigad.
Shivaji
was
born
in
the
hill-fort
of Shivneri,
near
the
city
of Junnar in
what
is
now Pune
district.
Scholars
disagree
on
his
date
of
birth.
The
government
of Maharashtra lists
19
February
as
a
holiday
commemorating
Shivaji's
birth
(Shivaji
Jayanti).[a][6][7] Shivaji
was
named
after
a
local
deity,
the
goddess
Shivai.[8] Shivaji's
father Shahaji
Bhonsle was
a Maratha general
who
served
the Deccan
Sultanates.[9] His
mother
was
Jijabai,
the
daughter
of Lakhuji
Jadhavrao of Sindhkhed,
a
Mughal-aligned
sardar
claiming
descent
from
a Yadav royal
family
of Devagiri.[10][11]
At
the
time
of
Shivaji's
birth,
power
in
Deccan
was
shared
by
three
Islamic
sultanates: Bijapur, Ahmednagar,
and Golkonda.
Shahaji
often
changed
his
loyalty
between
the Nizamshahi of
Ahmadnagar,
the Adilshah of
Bijapur
and
the Mughals,
but
always
kept
his jagir (fiefdom)
at Pune and
his
small
army
with
him.[9]
