Read Explanation:
On June 6, 1674, Shivaji Maharaj was crowned at the Raigad Fort, which served as the Maratha empire's capital. Raigad Fort is located in the neighbouring Raigad district, around 170 kilometres from Mumbai. Shivaji Bhosale I, commonly known as Chhatrapati Shivaji, was an Indian monarch and a member of the Maratha Bhonsle clan. The Maratha Empire was founded when Shivaji carved out an enclave from the fading Adilshahi sultanate of Bijapur. At Raigad in 1674, he was formally crowned Chhatrapati (emperor) of his domain.
