Satara
The first known Muslim rule of the Deccan took place in 1296. In 1636 the Nizam Shahi dynasty came to an end. In 1663, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj captured the forts of Parali and Satara. After the death of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Shahu Shivaji, heir to the Maratha Empire, was captured by the Mughals when he was just seven years old. He remained a prisoner until the death of his father in 1700.
The widow Maharani Tarabai proclaimed her younger half-brother and her son Shahu Sambhaji as Chhatrapati Maharaj under her regency. The Mughals released Shahu in 1707 under certain conditions so that Marathas faced an internal war for the throne. Shahu returned to the Maratha Empire and claimed inheritance from it.
Aurangzeb's son Muhammad Azam Shah captured the Satara fort Ajinkyatara after a six-month siege, which was then won by Parshuram Pratinidhi in 1706. In 1708, Chattrapati Shahu, the son of Chattrapati Sambhaji, was crowned at the Satara fort. . Direct descendants of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj continue to live in Satara. Chattrapati Udayanraje Bhonsle is the thirteenth descendant of Shivaji
