The Treaty of Purandar (Marathi: पुरंदर चा तह) was signed on June 11, 1665, between Jai Singh I, commander of the Mughal Empire, and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Shivaji Maharaj was forced to sign the agreement after Jai Singh besieged Purandar fort. When Shivaji realised that war with the Mughal Empire would only cause damage to his empire with possibility of his men suffering heavy losses, he chose to enter the treaty instead of leaving his men under the Mughals.[citation needed]

- Shivaji Maharaj kept twelve forts, along with an area worth an income of 100,000 (1 lakh) huns.[citation needed]
- Shivaji Maharaj was required to help the Mughals whenever and wherever required[citation needed].
- Shivaji Maharaj's son Sambhaji was tasked with the command of a 5,000-strong force under the Mughals.[citation needed]
- If Shivaji Maharaj wanted to claim the Konkan area under Bijapur's control, he would have to pay 4 million (40 lakh) hons to the Mughals.
- He had to give up his forts at Purandar, Rudramal, Kondana, Karnala, Lohagad, Isagad, Tung, Tikona, Rohida fort, Nardurga, Mahuli, Bhandardurga, Palaskhol, Rupgad, Bakhtgad, Morabkhan, Manikgad (Raigad), Saroopgad, Sagargad, Marakgad, Ankola, Songad, and Mangad. [citation needed]
