Maratha

The Maratha Empire was a Hindu-dominated empire in India that existed between the 17th and 19th centuries. The empire was founded by Shivaji, a Maratha warrior-king, in the 17th century and expanded its territory through a series of military conquests. The empire reached its peak under the rule of Shivaji's descendant, Shivaji II, and included a large portion of present-day India, including much of the Deccan Plateau and parts of modern-day Maharashtra, Karnatak, Andhra Pradesh, and Gujarat. The empire was known for its military prowess and for the skilled administration of its territories.
