Q. Which Maratha clan claimed fabricated Sisodia Rajput lineage for coronation legitimacy?
Answer: Bhonsle
Notes: Shivaji Bhonsle’s 1674 coronation as a Kshatriya king was legitimized by a forged Sisodia Rajput genealogy. This was arranged by Brahmin Gaga Bhatt to overcome Brahmin opposition and establish the Bhonsle clan’s claim to Kshatriya status.
