About Chhatrapati Shivaji Killing Afzal Khan With Tiger Claw Archibald Herman Muller Maratha History Painting
Chhatrapati Shivaji Killing Afzal Khan with Tiger Claw" by Archibald Herman Muller is a dramatic depiction of one of the most iconic moments in Maratha history. Painted by Muller, a British artist fascinated by Indian historical themes, the artwork captures the intense confrontation between Shivaji, the founder of the Maratha Empire, and Afzal Khan, a general of the Bijapur Sultanate. Shivaji is shown using the wagh nakh (tiger claw) — a concealed weapon — to defend himself in a preemptive strike during a seemingly diplomatic meeting. The painting vividly portrays Shivaji’s courage, strategic brilliance, and the turning point that ignited Maratha resistance against imperial forces.
