The capital of Shivaji was Raigarh.
Shivaji was a prominent Maratha warrior and ruler who founded the Maratha Empire in western India in the 17th century. He was known for his military campaigns against the Mughal Empire and his efforts to establish an independent Hindu kingdom in the region. Raigarh was Shivaji`s capital and the center of his power. He chose the location for its strategic advantages, including its high elevation and natural fortifications. Shivaji built a fort on the hilltop and established his capital there. Raigarh remained the capital of the Maratha Empire for many years and played an important role in the history of India.
