Every year, on the 19th of February, millions of people across India come together to celebrate the life and legacy of one of the most revered warriors and rulers in history—Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Just his name is enough to send a wave of pride through the hearts of people. Among all the legendary kings India has ever had, Shivaji Maharaj stands out as one of the most beloved and respected figures in history.

Shivaji"`s early life was filled with struggles, especially when his father remarried and left him and his mother in the care of Brahmanas, particularly Dadaji Khondev. Watch video for more.
