    1. Shivaji’s formal coronation and assumption of the title ‘Chhatrapati’ occurred on June 6, 1674 AD at the Raigad Fort. This event was politically critical as it formally declared the Maratha state independent of Bijapur and the Mughals. . The religious ceremony, performed according to Vedic rites by Gagabhatta, successfully elevated Shivaji’s status to a Kshatriya King, giving his rule a divine and legal sanction that was necessary to unite the Marathas and command respect from other ruling powers.
