🚩 Jai Bhavani, Jai Shivaji! | Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti

शिवाजी महाराज म्हणजे शौर्याची अमर गाथा (Shivaji Maharaj is the immortal saga of bravery)

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti is celebrated annually on February 19 to mark the birth anniversary of the founder of the Maratha Empire, born in 1630 at Shivneri Fort. In 2026, it is observed as a public holiday in Maharashtra with grand processions, cultural programs, and tributes to his legacy of Hindavi Swarajya.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti was first initiated by Mahatma Jyotirao Phule in 1870 to highlight Shivaji's contributions to uniting India. Phule aimed to inspire Indians during British colonial rule by bringing Shivaji's legacy into focus. Later, Bal Gangadhar Tilak popularised the celebration, linking Shivaji's values of unity, self-rule, and bravery to the freedom struggle. Celebrated every year on February 19, the day marks Shivaji's birth in 1630 and is observed with processions, reenactments, and cultural programs. It honours his leadership, courage, and vision for an independent kingdom.
