Detailed explanation-1: -Note: When Shivaji died in 1680, Sambhaji was put in captivity at Panhala fort. Some of the influential ministers, supported by Soyarabai, conspired against Sambhaji to prevent him from succeeding the throne. Soyarabai, who was Shivaji’s widow, made Rajaram I the king of the Maratha empire at a mere age of ten.
Detailed explanation-2: -In February 1689, Sambhaji was captured along with 25 of his counsellors at Sangameshwar. His close friend Kavi Kalash was also among the captives. Sambhaji and Kalash were taken to Bahadurgad in Ahmednagar District by the Mughals. Both of them were humiliated and tortured heinously before being executed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sambhaji’s behaviour, including alleged irresponsibility and addiction to sensual pleasures, led Shivaji to imprison his son at Panhala fort in 1678 to curb his behaviour.
Detailed explanation-4: -While returning from Agra, Shivaji had left Sambhaji Raje at Mathura. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj stayed in Mathura after his escape from the house arrest in Agra.
