The illustrations in these books were commissioned by Balasaheb Pantapratinidi, Raja of Aundh. These works resulted from the numerous trips M V Dhurandhar made with Purshottam Mawji, who wrote a history of Shivaji Maharaj’s military and its role during warfare.

In these series of illustrations featuring Shivaji Maharaj, M V Dhurandhar captures the bravery, character and a humanitarian side of the Maratha King. These illustrations of the paintings depict key moments from the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
