Chhatrapati is a royal title from Sanskrit used to denote a king and Queen. The word "Chhatrapati" is a Sanskrit compound term composed of "chhatra" (meaning "parasol" or "umbrella") and "pati" (meaning "master", "lord", or "ruler").[1] This title was used by the House of Bhonsle, between 1674 and 1818, as the heads of state of the Maratha Empire.
