Tanaji Malusare | The Lion Who Scaled Kondana for Shivaji

Tanaji Malusare was just a boy when he pledged lifelong loyalty to his friend, Shivaji Maharaj, in the fight against the Mughal Empire. As they grew, their bond only strengthened—and so did their determination to resist Emperor Aurangzeb’s rule. With fierce courage and a band of devoted Maratha warriors, they reclaimed fort after fort across western India.

But Tanaji’s greatest challenge came when he was assigned the near-impossible mission of capturing Kondana Fort—a formidable Mughal stronghold. Facing impossible odds, Tanaji scaled the steep cliffs with unwavering resolve, leading a daring nighttime assault that would become one of the most legendary battles in Indian history.

Inspired by G.S. Sardesai’s Shivasmruti and Sir H.G. Rawlinson’s Shivaji the Maratha, this tale is a stirring tribute to Maratha valor, friendship, and sacrifice.
