Sambhaji II or Sambhaji I of Kolhapur (1698 – 18 December 1760) was a

Rajaram
with his second wife, Rajasbai. After defeat by
Shahu, Sambhaji's stepmother, Tarabai then set up a rival court in Kolhapur with her son Shivaji II as Raja of Kolhapur in 1710, who then ruled as Shivaji I of Kolhapur line. However, in 1714, Rajasbai instigated a coup against Tarabai and installed her own son, Sambhaji II (titled as Sambhaji I of Kolhapur) on the Kolhapur throne.[1] Sambhaji ruled from 1714 to 1760.[2]

In early years of his rule, Sambhaji made alliance with the

Tungabhadra rivers to Sambhaji.[3][5] He, however, had to remain a vassal of Shahu.[6] He was succeeded by Jijibai as a regent of Shivaji II
of Kolhapur.
