Mumbai: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, born on February 19, 1630, in Pune to Jijabai and Shahji Bhonsle, is one of the most revered figures in Indian history. Trained in military strategies from a young age, he established the Maratha Empire in 1674 and became known for his just and progressive governance. He passed away on April 3, 1680, after battling a severe illness.

Many believe his name was inspired by Lord Shiva, while others suggest it originated from the local deity Shivai. A staunch advocate of women’s rights, he enforced strict laws to protect their dignity and imposed severe punishments for any misconduct.

To enhance administration, he formed the Ashta Pradhan Mandal, an advisory council of eight ministers. His military foresight led to the first Maratha naval expedition in 1665, showcasing his strategic brilliance.

Shivaji Maharaj championed cultural revival, promoting Marathi and Sanskrit over Persian in governance. His mastery of guerrilla warfare earned him the title ‘mountain rat’, reflecting his tactical expertise. Despite being deeply rooted in Hindu traditions, he embraced inclusivity, appointing Muslims like Daulat Khan and Ibrahim Khan to key positions in his navy.

His education was meticulously guided by a select council, focusing on reading, writing, religious studies, and martial arts. His military training was supervised by Dadaji Kondadev, the administrator of Pune Jaagir, who played a pivotal role in shaping his combat skills.

Shivaji Maharaj’s legacy remains timeless, as he was a compassionate ruler devoted to his people’s welfare. His death marked the end of an extraordinary era in Maratha history.

On his Punyatithi 2025, we honour the legendary leader whose vision of Swarajya (self-rule) and commitment to justice and good governance continue to inspire. Every year, millions pay tribute to his bravery, leadership, and wisdom. Let this Punyatithi be a moment to reflect on his ideals through inspiring quotes, captions, and wallpapers that celebrate his enduring greatness.
