The Nimbalkar is a Maratha clan, which derives its surname from the forest of Nimbalak in Phaltan taluka, Satara district, Maharashtra, India.

The members of the Nimbalkar dynasty were the rulers of Phaltan from the era of the Yadava dynasty until the integration of the princely states into the new nation of India in 1947. Many members of the family served as sardars under the Deccan sultanates of the kingdoms of Adil Shahi and Nizamshah in the 17th century, and the era of the rule of the Peshwas. A few members of the family also served under the Nizam of Hyderabad.

Affiliations

The main ancestral city of the Nimbalkar is Phaltan, though they are also found in other regions Marathas inhabit. The clan is considered as one of the royal families among the royal maratha clans. The clan is linked to other clans prominent in Maratha history: Emperor Shivaji's first wife Maharani Saibai was from the Nimbalkar dynasty. Deepaabai, the wife of Maloji Bhosale (Shivaji's grandfather) was also from a Nimbalkar family. Shivaji's maternal grandmother, mother of Jijabai, Mhalsabai was from Nimbalkar family of Phaltan, while Shivaji's eldest daughter, Sakhubai married Phaltan's Prince Mahadji Nimbalkar.
