Tanaji's Vow. The fort of Kondhana dominated the landscape. Whosoever occupied it could easily control a large territory. Which meant that every emerging power sought to control this fort. The fort was also quite secure. An aggressor would have to pay heavily for attacking it. The fort also had a special significance for young Shivaji. It was here that, the historian Grant Duff reports, c. 1636, the Mughals had confined his mother Jijabai, when Shivaji was a little more than five years of age. By October 1636, Shahji had pressured the Mughals to retreat. But, Adil Shah whom he served chose to appease the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan by debarring Shahji from residing in his Jagir of Pune. At this Shahji handed over the management of his Jagir of Poona to Jijabai. Jijabai turned out to be a good manager. With the help of Dadaji Konddev she began to transform Pune from the market village that it was to a flourishing city. The territories of Chakan, Supa, Baramati and Indapur; all of them to be ruled from Sinhagad. A new settlement called Shivapur was set up at the foot of Kondhana. Dadaji Konddev is also said to have developed a new variety of mango at Shivapur known as the Shivapur mango. A worried ruler of Bijapur noted in a letter dated 1st August 1644 ce, that Dadaji had taken full control of fort Kondhana on behalf of Shahji Bhonsale. A little while later Dadaji passed away and people began to notice that the key person behind establishing control over the Maval region was neither Shahji nor Dadaji but Shivaji, who was about 15 years of age. From this point onwards, for the next three decades, Shivaji would continue to fight to retain control over Sinhagad while the Mughals tried to resist him.

சத்ரபதி சிவாஜி மகாராஜ்

சத்ரபதி சிவாஜி மகாராஜ் என்று அழைக்கப்படும் சிவாஜி போன்சலே, மராட்டிய சாம்ராஜ்யத்தை நிறுவிய இந்தியாவின் ஒரு துணிச்சலான போர்வீரர்-ராஜா ஆவார். அவர் சுயராஜ்யம் என்று பொருள்படும் 'ஸ்வராஜ்' கனவு கண்டார் மற்றும் அவரது விதிவிலக்கான போர் திறன்கள் மற்றும் துணிச்சலின் மூலம் தனது கனவை நனவாக்கினார்.

அவர் 1630 ஆம் ஆண்டு பிறந்தார். ஒவ்வொரு ஆண்டும் பிப்ரவரி 19 ஆம் தேதி அவரது பிறந்தநாள் கொண்டாடப்படுகிறது, சிவாஜி இந்திய கடற்படையின் தந்தை என்று அழைக்கப்படுகிறார், ஏனெனில் அவர் கடற்படை படைகளை முதலில் நிறுவியவர். தனது வலிமையான கடற்படைப் படைகளால், மகாராஷ்டிராவின் கடற்கரையான கொங்கனைப் பாதுகாத்தார்.

Chaturjirajah Singh

Muqti Jagirdar Chaturjirajah Singh Bhonsale al-Asad, Iqtadar of the Jagir of Daksin and Dan, Raz Tupa, acknowledged progenitor of the royal Chowtasingh line of Ranisthan. All portraits of him are based on this 17th century one, done in his lifetime and one that he reputedly didn't like because the artist gave the impression that his eyes were closed. Reports that the artist was executed because of this are unproven historically and that was not the nature nor personality of Chaturjirajah Singh. It is said that the artist did a new appropriate portrait but only this one survived and the other is no longer in existence, although 19th-20th century Neo-impressionist painter and Pointillist Jules Auguste Cezar claimed to have seen it.
