Event summary

Highlights

Commemoration of the 353rd anniversary of the 1674 coronation at Raigad Fort
Dual observance based on both the Gregorian and Hindu lunar (Tithi) calendars
Public tributes honoring the establishment of an independent Maratha state

Shivarajyabhishek Divas, also known as Shivrajyabhishek Din or Sohala, marks the milestone 353rd anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's coronation as the supreme sovereign of the Maratha Empire. The original ceremony, which took place in 1674 at Raigad Fort, was a pivotal historical event where Shivaji Maharaj challenged Mughal authority to establish an independent kingdom. This day serves as a reminder of his vision for Hindavi Swarajya and his administrative legacy.

The timing of the celebration is unique as it is observed through two different calendar systems. Although the fixed date of June 6 is commonly recognized, traditional observances follow the Hindu lunar calendar on Jyeshtha Shukla Trayodashi. In 2026, the Tithi-based anniversary fell on June 27, leading to widespread public tributes and gatherings across Nagpur and the broader Maharashtra region.

During the festivities, devotees and followers pay homage to the Maratha king through various cultural programs and ceremonies. Public figures and citizens use the occasion to recall his military prowess and his commitment to a just, sovereign state. The event highlights the enduring influence of Shivaji Maharaj on the cultural and political identity of the region.
