The [[Seuna Yadavas of Devagiri|Yadavas]] and [[Chauhan dynasty|Chauhan]]s were the last dynasties to perform a coronation ritual, but whether they performed indrabhisheka ceremony is not clear. Chhatrapati [[Shivaji]] Maharaj, the founder of the [[Maratha Empire]], revived the indrabhisheka tradition. [[Pandit Gaga Bhatt]], who presided over his coronation ceremony, wrote a detailed book on the procedure. A thread ceremony, [[Upanayana]], of Shivaji took place on May 29, 1674, and then a [[Vratyastoma]] ceremony was performed.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Maratha Empire]]<br /> [[Category:Hindu rituals]]</div>
