The word ‘Chhatrapati’ is from Sanskrit chatra (roof or umbrella) and pati (master/Owner/ruler); Chhatrapati thus indicates a person who gives shade to his followers and protects their success.In contrast, the Indian Maharaja or Raja, Yuvraj, Rajkumar or Kumar, Senapati, and Sardar most closely equate to the European titles King, Crown Prince, Prince, Duke, and Count, respectively.Shivaji adopted this title due to the fact that other title like raja or maharaja used be bestowed by other powers like Adilshahi or Mughals. Shivaji was a sovereign and coronated with indrabhishek ceremonies , hence adopted chatrapati title indicative of shelter to subject and also independence.Chhatrapti is the title adopted by Shivaji Raje Bhonsle, founder of the Maratha Empire when he got crowned. As described below, Shivaji's lineal successors in the royal House of Bhonsle also held the title of Chhatrapati."@en }
