Shivaji Maharaj and the Forgotten Fort of Rajgad

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Rajgad, the first capital of the Maratha Swarajya and Shivaji's home for over two decades. They discuss how Shivaji's early military campaigns were planned from this strategic fort, including the conquest of Torna and the construction of Rajgad's unique "eye" bastions. Lucas explains how Shivaji moved his capital to Raigad only after Rajgad was no longer defensible against Mughal artillery, and how the fort's ruins still bear witness to the birth of Hindavi Swarajya. Along the way, they touch on the role of the Mavala fighters, the Ganimi Kava guerrilla tactics, and the legacy of Rajgad as a symbol of Maratha resilience. #ShivajiMaharaj #Rajgad #MarathaEmpire #HindaviSwarajya #Mavala #GanimiKava #FortRajgad #Torna #Raigad #DeccanHistory #IndianHistory #FortArchitecture #GuerrillaWarfare #Aurangzeb #AdilShahi #Chhatrapati #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
