The correct answer is Bhonsle.

Key Points

  • The title "Chhatrapati" was created by Shivaji upon his coronation which means a protector than merely using the term "Raja" or "Maharaja" meaning just a "king".
  • The Bhonsle originated among the populations of the Deccani tiller-plainsmen who were known by the names Kunbi and Maratha.
  • The Bhonsle is a prominent group within the Maratha clan system
  • Chattrapati Sivaji was born on 19 February 1630.


Additional Information

  • The immediate successors of Shivaji are -  Sambhaji, Rajaram, and Shahu.
  • After the death of Shahu, the Peshwas and Marathas increased their power.
