‘Shiv aarti’ to mark heritage site tag for 12 forts built by Shivaji Maharaj

To celebrate UNESCO awarding the ‘Maratha Military Landscapes’ World Heritage Site status on 12 forts built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of ‘Hindavi Swarajya’, the Mumbai BJP will organise ‘Shiv aarti’ and ‘Shiv jallosh’ at 106 locations in the city on Sunday.

The forts built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj are not merely architectural marvels, they stand as enduring symbols of valour and vision that defined ‘Hindavi Swarajya’. The celebrations kicked off Saturday at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Park in Dadar, where Minister for Cultural Affairs Ashish Shelar offered floral tributes at the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj amid the sounds of dhol-tasha.
