Sakvarbai

Sakvarbai was a wife of Shivaji, the founder of the Maratha empire in India.

Sakvarbai Gaikwad married Shivaji in January 1656 and later gave birth to a daughter.[1] After Shivaji's death in 1680, Sakvarbai had wanted to commit sati just like her husband's third wife Putalabai. But she was not allowed to do so because she had a daughter.

Death

Sakvarbai died in the captivity of Aurangzeb, her husband's enemy, after being taken as a prisoner from Raigad fort along with other family members in Sambhaji.[1]
