This was a wealthy port city in Mughal empire for the sea trade of the era. The city was well populated mostly by Hindus and a few Muslims, specially the officials in the Mughal administration of the city.The attack was so sudden that the population had no chance flee. The plunder was continued for six days,two third of the city was burned down and there was smoke in the air for many days. The loot was then transferred to Raigad fort. ==Background== As Shaista Khan, the Mughal governor, was in Deccan for more than three years fighting the Marathas, the financial condition of the Maratha state was dire. So to improve his finances, Shivaji planned to attack Surat, a key Mughal power centre, and a wealthy port town which generated a million rupees in taxes.
