Rajaram Chhatrapati was the younger son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of the Maratha Empire in India. Born in 1670, he became the second Chhatrapati after his brother, Sambhaji Maharaj, was captured and executed by the Mughal Empire. Rajaram ruled from 1689 to 1700 and continued his father's legacy of resistance against Mughal domination. During his reign, Rajaram faced significant challenges, including constant threats from the Mughals. He strategically relocated his court to Raigad Fort and later to Janjira, where he organized guerrilla warfare tactics. His leadership helped maintain Maratha independence during a turbulent period, solidifying his place in Indian history.
