Once a proud and peaceful land, subjugated by invaders and subjected to atrocities in the name of religion. Where no one, from the highest to the lowest, was safe. In the history of this nation, when it was at it’s nadir, rose a Mighty and Great Emperor who challenged the fearful odds and emerged victorious. Establishing an independent and dharmic values creating Swarjya.
In this sesquarcentennial anniversary of the coronation of that Great King, we bring to light the needs and idea behind the process of Coronation and Enthronement of how Shivaji Maharaj forevermore will be known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. This Shree Shivarajyabhishek book is written by Guruprasad Kanitkar, Parag Pimpalkhare.

In November 1817, the Maratha Empire—a formidable power that had shaped the destiny of the Indian subcontinent for over a century—stood on the precipice of total collapse. As the forces of Peshwa Bajirao II clashed with the British East India Company, a young Scottish military engineer named Captain John MacLeod marched directly into the chaos.
An Eyewitness Account of The End of the Maratha Empire presents MacLeod’s complete, day-by-day field journal. Far from a dry military dispatch, this diary offers a rare, unfiltered window into a world moments before it changed forever. Readers will traverse the rugged Deccan plateau in pursuit of the retreating Peshwa. You will experience the visceral realities of the Third Anglo-Maratha War, including fort sieges, sudden skirmishes, chaotic tiger hunts, and the desperate plundering of ancient manuscripts.
Edited by Manoj Dani and Guruprasad Kanitkar, The End of The Maratha Empire book is a breathtaking time capsule and is an unforgettable testament to a fractured frontier.

Mountains, rivers, valleys, forests around us has a history. Using this natural environment, humans built structures there. Maharashtra has a rich history. From Thane-Raigad district to Kolhapur and from Pune-nagar to Nagpur-Gadchiroli. Those buildings have historical as well as cultural references. The imprint of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s thoughts and actions is everywhere. What we often fail to do is to search for them and add context. That deficiency has been filled by Vikhuralya Itihas-Khuna a book written by history researcher Sadashiv Tetwilkar.
