Sakvarbai

Sakvarbai (née Gaikwad) was the fourth wife of Shivaji I, the founder of the Maratha Empire. She was a daughter of a Maratha aristocrat, Nandaji Rao Gaikwad.

Sakvarbai Gaikwad married Shivaji I in January 1657, at the time she was his sixth wife. She later gave birth to a daughter named, Kamalabai. Kamalabai later married Janoji Palkar, who belonged from an aristocratic family.

After the death of her husband in 1680, she wanted to commit sati just like her husband's third wife, Putalabai. But was not allowed to do so because she had a daughter.
