The Rajyabhishek ceremony (coronation) of Shivaji Maharaj was performed on June 6, 1674, at Raigad. He assumed the title of a king in a formal coronation and became the first Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire.

Shivaji Maharaj had an extensive territory within his control and ruled over it as an independent sovereign. He and his ministers, therefore, felt that it was necessary that he should assume the title of king in a formal coronation so as to convince the contemporary Indian powers of the right of the Maratha Empire and to give legal validity to his orders to treaties.

Moreover, the leaders in Maharashtra wanted the establishment of Hindavi Swarajya and were anxious to have its fulfilment in a Hindu Chhatrapati. Hence, it was decided that a formal Rajyabhishek ceremony of Shivaji Maharaj would undergo on a grand scale.
