The first significant victory of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was the capture of Torna Fort in 1645. At just 16 years old, he and his small band of warriors successfully seized the fort from Bijapur Sultanate forces, marking the beginning of his military career and the establishment of the Maratha Empire. This victory not only boosted Shivaji's reputation but also laid the groundwork for his future conquests in the Deccan region.
It is said that Raigad fort was built by More dynasty of Javali in Maharashtra in 11th century (approx). The fort was captured by Shivaji Maharaj in 1665 (approx). Most of the structures on Raigad were built by Shivaji Maharaj before his coronation.
Shivaji died on April 3, 1680 at the age of 50.
Shivaji Maharaj was betrayed by his own trusted lieutenant, Kheloji Narayan, during the siege of Vasota Fort in 1661. Kheloji Narayan, influenced by the Mughal forces, conspired against Shivaji and facilitated the fort's capture. This betrayal highlighted the challenges Shivaji faced even from those he considered allies. Ultimately, Shivaji’s strategic acumen allowed him to recover from such setbacks and continue his quest for establishing a strong Maratha empire.
The right hand of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was Tanaji Malusare, a trusted general and close friend. Tanaji played a pivotal role in many of Shivaji's military campaigns, most famously in the successful capture of the Kondana Fort. His bravery and loyalty made him a legendary figure in Maratha history, and he is often celebrated for his sacrifice during the battle for the fort.

It is a myth. There is no information on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's pets except his horses. Therefore, the dog samadhi is also a myth. Please do not quote a dog statue on Raigad fort as Maharaj's favourite dog Waghya. That dog was a pet of Tukoji Holkar.
