Shivaji was coronated in a lavish ceremony at Raigad on 6 June 1674, Pune. He is considered as one of those who turned the tide of History for ever.Today, he declared himself as "Chhatrapati"(Emperor) and is considered to be the founder of the Maratha Empire.
The coronation of Shri Shivaji
“In what far-off country, upon what obscure day
I know not now,
Seated in the gloom of some Mahratta mountain-wood
O King Shivaji,
Lighting thy brow, like a lightning flash,
This thought descended,
Into one virtuous rule, this divided broken distracted India,
I shall bind.”
- A poem by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore
