On May 14, 1657, Sambhaji was born in Purandar Fort to legendary warrior Chhatrapati Sivaji Maharaj and his first wife Saibai. When Sambhaji was just two years old, his mother passed away. Thus, Jijabai, his grandma, looked after him. Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, became the ruler of the Maratha Kingdom after his father passed away. He then reigned as the second Chhatrapati for nine years, from 1681 to 1689. Maharashtra observes the day with great enthusiasm. Processions, religious gatherings, and cultural activities are frequently part of the celebrations to honor his legacy.

Sambhaji became the second Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire after his father's death in 1680. His leadership was not without controversy in 1689, though. Despite facing internal challenges, Sambhaji managed to overcome conspiracies and assert his authority through decisive action and sharp strategic thinking.
