This Ganeshotsav season, Dombivli’s Tilaknagar Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal has taken a historic turn. Marking its 76th year, the mandal has unveiled a spectacular tribute to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and the 12 Maratha forts recently included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, under the theme “Maratha Military Landscapes of India”.

Designed by renowned art director Sanjay Shashikant Dhabade, the pandal recreates the aura of a Maratha fortress with 12 symbolic gateways, each one representing a UNESCO-recognised fort.
