It is worth mentioning that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born on February 19, 1630, at Shivneri Fort near Pune. His birthday is celebrated as Jayanti, a festival that honors the renowned Maratha ruler.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was a 17th-century warrior king who founded the Maratha Empire and is regarded as one of the greatest warriors in Indian history. In 1674, after fiercely battling the Mughals in 1670, he established the Maratha Empire in western India. Apart from his military prowess, Shivaji Maharaj also introduced a well-organized administrative system and a comprehensive civil code for the local people.

The main purpose of this day is to recognize the significant contributions of the great warrior in restoring the Maratha Empire and to celebrate his lasting legacy.
