Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (February 19, 1630 – April 3, 1680) is one of the most revered figures in India.

Shivaji Maharaj was coronated at the Raigad Fort on June 6, 1674 from where he laid the foundation of the Hindavi-swarajya, the self-rule of Hindu people.

Shivaji Maharaj used a 'Wagh-nakh' to kill Afzal Khan, the general of the Adil Shahi dynasty of the Bijapur sultanate in November 1659 at the Pratapgad Fort in Satara.

The Victoria and Albert Museum has agreed to give it to the state for three years and once it is received it would be on display at the Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum in Satara, Central Museum in Nagpur, Lakshmi Vilas Palace in Kolhapur and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya in Mumbai.
