Shivaji Shahaji Bhonsle or Shivaji I, also known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was the son of a former Mughal general Shahaji Bhonsle. Shivaji prepared a small army and started capturing the forts of Bijapur Sultanate or Adil Shahi dynasty of Deccan. Shivaji starts gaining political influence and power after the Battle of Pratapgarh in 1659.
The Battle of Surat in 1664 was one of the significant event for the Marathas after which they started getting power and popularity in the country and the Mughal Court. Aurangzeb sent an expedition under the command of Jai Singh I to defeat Shivaji in 1665, after which the Battle of Purandar was fought and the Treaty of Purandar was signed. Following the Treaty, the Marathas had surrender their 23 captured forts to the Mughal Empire. Although, the peace between the Maratha Kingdom and Mughal Empire lasted only for five years. In 1670, Shivaji sent 12,000 soldiers under the leadership of Tanhaji Malusare to capture Sinhagad( then, Kondhana fort) where the Battle of Sinhagad was fought and Marathas emerged victorious in the battle. Following the Reconquest by Shivaji, many battles such as the Battle of Vani-Dindori and Battle of Salher were fought.
