To come back shivaji, in 1664 AD Shivaji ransacked the city of Surat, a wealthy mughal trading centre. Aurangzeb was enraged and sent the 60 year old Rajput veteran Mirza raja jai Singh, with a 150,000 strong army. Jai Singh won and Shivaji had to give up 23 of his forts and pay compensation of 4,00,000 hunas to the mughals. He also had to go to Agra in 1666 with his nine-year-old son sambhaji. The plan was to contain shivaji by giving him a place in the prestigious mughal court, but Aurangzeb made the mistake of humilisting Shivaji and placing him under house arrest. Shivaji feigned sereve illness and requested to send daily shipments of sweets and gifts to saint's and fakirs in Agra for his health.

While that was going on, shivaji disguised as a laborer carrying a sweet basket escaped on with sambhaji. He took an route passing by mathura, Kashi, Gaya and Puri and into the territory of Golconda and bipaur before reaching raigad.

By 1670 AD, Shivaji launched a big offensive and in four months recovered a major portion of the territories surrendered to the mughals. From 1671 to 1674, Aurangzeb tried everything in his power using his generals daud khan and mahabat khan to subdue shivaji, but failed terribly. Additionally Ali Adil the died in 1672 and Bijapur fell into disarray. Finally on 6 June 1674, Shivaji was crowned king of the Marathas in a lavish Hindu ceremony at raigad, by gaga bhatt. Tilak, janaiva and vedic changing, customs which had not been followed for centuries were received.
