  General Description   The Thanjavur Maratha Kingdom was established in 1675 CE when the Maratha general Ekoji Bhonsle took control of Thanjavur and crowned himself Raja of the Thanjavur Maratha Kingdom. The capital of the Thanjavur Maratha Kingdom was the city of Thanjavur. The Thanjavur Maratha kings were devout Shaivist Hindus and contributed greatly to literature and philosophic thought. [1] [2] The Thanjavur Maratha kings also patronized temple projects. [3] During certain periods of the Thanjavur Maratha rule there was political turmoil and regional fighting. By the end of the 18th century the Thanjavur Maratha kings were financially indebted to the British trading companies in the region. [4] In 1799 CE the Thanjavur Maratha Kingdom came under the Madras Presidency under the British East India Company. [5]
