Bakhar

Bakhar is a form of historical narrative written in Marathi prose. Bakhars are one of the earliest genres of medieval Marathi literature.^[1] More than 200 bakhars were written in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, the most important of them chronicling the deeds of the Maratha ruler Shivaji.^{[citation needed]} Bakhars are considered valuable resources depicting the Maratha view of history, but also criticized for falsification, exaggeration, embellishment and magnification of facts.^[2]
