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