Born in 1696, served as a ceremonial figurehead in the Maratha Empire during a turbulent period. Ascended to the title of Chattrapati at a young age following the death of his father. His reign was primarily symbolic, as real power was held by regents who governed the empire in his stead. The political landscape was characterized by conflicts and challenges to Maratha supremacy, particularly from the Mughal Empire and regional powers. The infant king's legitimacy was an important rallying point for his supporters during this time.
