The story highlights the valor and leadership of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, a prominent figure in the Marathi Empire, and later, Baji Rao Peshwa. From a young age, they vowed to defeat the Mughal Empire and free the Marathi people from oppression. During a time when the Mughal Empire was at its peak in India, the Marathi people were not valued, leading to Shivaji's commitment to fight against this injustice. He gathered his loyal followers, known as Mavlas, and took an oath for self-rule at the Rohideshwar temple. With their support, he successfully defeated the Mughal Empire, becoming a revered king of the people. Shivaji's court was filled with brave and loyal warriors, ready to sacrifice everything for him. His enduring respect and love from the people can be attributed to his tolerant nature, exemplified when he honored the deceased Afzal Khan by conducting Islamic burial rites and maintaining his grave. Throughout his reign, Shivaji fought many battles, showcasing his strategic brilliance. Notably, his encounter with Afzal Khan is remembered as one of his most thrilling battles, highlighting the skill of his soldiers.
