Sambhaji Bhosale, the second emperor of the Maratha state, died in 1689.
Sambhaji Bhosale, who reigned from 1681 to 1689 and lived from 14 May 1657 to 11 March 1689, was the second Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire. He was Shivaji's eldest son and the founder of the Maratha Empire. The continuing conflicts between the Maratha kingdom and the Mughal Empire, as well as other neighbouring kingdoms such as the Siddis, Mysore, and the Portuguese in Goa, moulded Sambhaji's rule. After Sambhaji died, his brother Rajaram I took over as the new Chhatrapati.
