Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti 2026 will be observed on Thursday, 19 February, across India, especially in Maharashtra, to honour Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of the Maratha Empire. The day celebrates his courage, leadership, vision of Swarajya, and military brilliance.
Schools, colleges, and communities organise cultural events, share quotes, and inspire the younger generation with his ideals of bravery and patriotism. Born at Shivneri Fort, Shivaji Maharaj became the first Chhatrapati in 1674 and established a disciplined, people-centric kingdom. The celebration also highlights his guerrilla warfare tactics, strategic forts, strong naval force, and enduring dream of self-rule.
