The glorious Raireshwar region traditionally ruled by Maratha Sarjerao Jedhe Naik Shinde Deshmukhs of Kari.
It's real ruler was Raireshwar Shiva while Yoddha Nayak Shindes were regarded his earthly custodians like Mahabaleshwar Shiva was of Jayavalli & Chandrarao Mores were his.

Mentions of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja as Saviour of Hinduism 🚩
Starting with his official Mudra:
श्री महादेव
श्री तुळजाभवानी
शिवनृपरूपेणोर्वीमव
तीर्णोय: स्वयं प्रभु र्विष्णू:
एषा तदीय मुद्रा
भूबळयस्याभयप्रदा जयती
"In form of Shivaji, VISHNU himself has come."
A Sanskrit text, from South Indian lands, of 1700s CONFIRMS Marathas were credited with *saving* Hinduism, despite all and any unfavourable opinions!
The Text is Vishvagunàdarsha of Veṅkatārya Yajvā Arisānaphāl.
Presenting it for the FIRST time in Mainstream 👇🏻
The journalist did not know this was Shrimant Jaivantrao Kedarrao Himmat Bahadur Chavhan Sarkar Saranjamdar of Digraz.
His ancestor almost single-handedly killed Aurangzeb, defeated the greatest Mughal general in history, Zulfiqar Khan, & led Maratha invasion of Mughal Empire.
Presenting for the FIRST TIME.
Recently uncovered, and translated letter of Ahmad Shah Abdali to Ottoman Sultan Mustafa III is being released here for the first time.
Describing his struggles with the Hindu Maratha Empire 🚩
Share & spread it to the maximum extent possible 🔥
A Maratha Talim at Kolhapur 🔥
Tūfānī Sapate led by a young boy.
Shri Shahu Vijayi Gangavesh Talim, Kolhapur.
Karveer retains dignity of Deccani wrestling culture intact.
Compulsory Hanuman Worship before the day begins by every wrestler of every class, caste, creed, etc.
Maratha Inferno🔥
After Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaja conquered all 4 Forts of Bardez, North Panaji, He began to mete out punishment to Portuguese bigots.
Just as Missionaries used to humiliate Hindu civilians, same way 140 Missionaries were stripped NAKED & marched out of Goa.
Maratha Mulkgiri had destroyed every territory which Mughals had tried to conquer.
Starving Mughal soldiers & civilians used to come to Maratha territories begging food.
Being Hindus, Marathas allowed them to get food only on one condition: Cook and Eat it there & then itself.
A poor Brahmin Gangadhar Ranganath Kulkarni served in a Kasba which came under Mughal invaders.
Mughals deliberately imprisoned, & tortured him, stopped Sandhyavandanams of Brahmins to degrade their Varna & ruin them.
The Brahmin approached the Maratha Chattrapati for his help.
Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja's Carving worshipping Tirupati Balaji Murti 🚩
This is present in the Shrishailam Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja Temple-Museum in Andhra Pradesh.
Poem of Kavi Kalash when Aurangzeb got off his Throne to thank Allah for capturing Dharamveer:
Yāvan Rāvaṇ kī Sabhā, Shambhu bandhyo Vajrang |
Lahu lasat Sindūr sama khoob khelyo Raṇnrang ॥
Jo Ravī Chhavī dekhatahī hota Bajrang |
Tyo Tava Tej nihaarake Taqt tyaago Aurang! ॥
Always wondered why Jire-Topi was wrapped all the way up. And why it had a Panache of Pearls pouring out at the Peak.
A Dhumala Turban suffices as a cover for helmets. What was the need to wrap Rumal around, in folds?
Then noticed the Jatadhara Shiva iconography in Maharashtra.
Marathas Avenged Vijaynagar 🔥
After beheading Samrat Ramaraya at Talikota, the Deccan Sultanates actually STORED his head preserved in oil and red pigment, and annually exhibited it for humiliation of Hindus.
Years passed & a Stone model instead was used for this.
A lot of successful battles of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj's reign are overlooked simply because of how smoothly they were won.
Battle of Umrani was a victory won by Prataprao Sarsenapati Kudtojiraje Gujar so smoothly that it was considered worthy as climax of a Sanskrit Akhyan.
This festival of Karthigai / Kartika Deepam Festival was instituted by none other than the Maratha Emperor Haindava Dharmodharak Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja after He rebuilt the Tiruvannamalai temple.
The most bullseye accurate depiction of Marathas and their culture is in the movie "Maratilu Mugguru".
Starring some of the greatest Telugu actors alive at the time, notably Akkineni Nageshwarrao.
A masterpiece movie based on authentic folklore that truly honoured Marathas.
Many Afghans began whining against Hindus after Panipat movie was released.
Some especially mocked the scene where Maratha Senadhyaksha Sadashivrao Bhau challenges Abdali to a one-on-one combat.
They forgot if this happened in reality, Sadashivrao would rip Abdali's head off.
Nobody in India glorified Cholas more than Tanjavur's Choladeshadhipati Bhonsales who deified Chola Emperors like the great Karikala.
In fact they went further & developed entire rituals out of emulation of Cholas. One can go through the text Shri Maharaja Sharabhendratirthavali.
Marathas were in possession of Chanakya Sutras and it was a common material to study.
It is a myth that Chanakya's teachings were lost.
A letter of Peshwa Balaji Bajirao from Udaipur written to Raghunathpant Bhat in 1748 CE.
The Maratha State too was modelled on Smritis.
This is the first time the painting is being presented on a popular platform.
This is a painting of Dharamvīr Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja meeting with Swami Ramdas made between 1680 - 1690 CE.
It has never been seen on any platform before.
Please help us in popularising it.
Daily Life of Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaja at Shringarpur👑
Shringarpur in the Konkan, was viceroyalty seat of Dharamveer Yuvaraja Shambhujiraje.
His Daily Routine:
• Exercise till "sweat-drops were size of pearls"
• Dhanurveda
• 18 Puranas recitation
• Kamandaka Nitisara
Oath of Hindavi Swarajya 👑
Original FULL Speech by Shivaji the Great:
"Why remain content with the Ināms conferred by Mlecchas or with Our paternal acquisitions only?!
We are Hindus!
This whole country is ours, and yet it is garrisoned and held by the Musallmāns...
Speech of Marathas on the Battlefield of Panipat 🔥
On the morning of 14th January 1761, Marathas roared the proclamation:
"The World shall witness our indomitable feats of valour!
Treating lives like moss beneath our hooves, we will sow carnage in the lives of the Durranis!..
Samadhi of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja 👑
This was NEVER considered an important memorial of Chattrapati & nobody cared for it.
Raigad was soon going to be lost.
The Real Memorial to Chattrapati, CONTINUOUSLY worshipped, is at Sindhudurg Fort's Bhagwan Shivarajeshwar Mandir.
Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja.
Best old-fashioned style paintings which fired up the imagination of Hindus. Decided to compile them and make them mainstream.
This has been chosen as the first painting on the list because it shows every single thing important to Maratha culture.
Extremely RARE painting of Punyashlok Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore 👑
Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar was renowned for her piety & most importantly her famed Hindu pride.
She became forever immortalized for her diplomacy, business sensibility & restoration of Hindu monuments.
"If the Mughals dare pursue us, we shall hound them & ruin them by driving them by force from place to place and UTTERLY CRUSH them by the grace of our King (Chattrapati Shahu Maharaja) & the blessings of our ancestors!"
— Bajirao's Letter to Chimnaji, Maratha Invasion of Delhi.
It seems to be a very auspicious period for Vaishnav Heritage of Deccan.
A Sheshashayi Bhagwan Vishnu and Mata Lakshmi Murti (almost COMPLETELY intact!) has been excavated.
At the Samadhi of Maratha Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja's Maternal Grandfather Maharaja Lakhuji Jadhavrao.
Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja Aesthetics 👑
The good thing about the costume design in the movie Sarsenapati Hambirrao, was the stitching in the arm and chest sections of the torso.
It is documented Marathas had their Angrakhas specially stitched, to flaunt their arms and chest.
Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja made note of everything. He Jotted down things He might forget on palm of His hand.
He assisted in all important work of statecraft and for this purpose, He is recorded as always carrying His Pen Case & Inkwell.
This photo is supposed to be of that!
Maratha Senasahebsubah Raghujiraje Bhonsale's campaign in Tamil Nadu climaxed with slaughter of Nawab Dost Ali Khan, his son Hussain Ali, ALL his officers and his son-in-law Chanda Sahib's brother Zaynut Abdul Khan (Bada Sahib).
The Nawab's Diwan Mir Asud was also taken captive.
"My Duty is to increase Hinduism on Earth.
And to reduce number of Mlecchas on Earth by slaughtering them in battle.
I have saved Hindus after Hindus, but (some Hindus) like Amaresh Chundawat come themselves to get broken by Me.
Grief of such loss will always be in Our destiny."
Observe Closely.
RAREST Painting ever found of famous united Maratha Ganesha Chaturthi Celebrations at Gwalior👑
Due to low number of populace, the entire Maratha Empire Shindeshahi sector of Gwalior-Ujjain used to celebrate Chaturthi together!
It was THIS that inspired Tilak.
Highborn Mughalia culture.
Eating grease and smearing it all over their face.
Using sub-alternist Sir Jadunath will not work anymore.
Plenty of paintings and wonderful architectural elements have been found. Maratha game cuisine was too exclusive for the likes of Padunath.
Battle of Tungabhadra ⚔️
On 12 March 1689 CE, Maharajakumar Rajaram Shivaji Bhonsale was made the Chattrapati.
There was no pomp, no glory. Dharamveer Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaj had just gone away on his campaign to conquer the heavens.
And Mughals were on the way to Raigad.
Maratha Satishilas and Viragals at Nimgiri Fort 👑
Nimgiri, Junnar Taluka, Pune District, Maharashtra.
Satishilas are for pious, virtuous wives.
Viragals are for valiant war-heroes.
Certainly this was the Punyabhumi of a great display of heroism and sacrifice for Dharma.
We truly fail to realise how Maharashtrians can glorify the great Battle of Pavankhind but fail to spread even 1% of awareness on Battle of Tungabhadra.
The Battle of Varada-Tungabhadra also involved 300 Marathas & was even more dramatic!
Let us know if you have heard of it.
The Bhagwa Dhwaj Banner is the standard Maratha Banner.
But did you know the Imperial Maratha Banner is actually known as the Zari Patka (Zari meaning Tassels, and Patka from Sanskrit Patākā)
Presenting you the incredibly rare depiction of the Zari Pataka in Tanjavur paintings.
Scene from Chattrapati Shivaji movie made in 1952, recoloured.
Such grandeur shows how promising Marathi film industry in history genre could have been, instead of the low-budget sub-altern propaganda medium it is.
Excellent authentic Maratha architecture, but never developed.
Last Words of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja as per the Bakhar of Hindupati Padshah Chattrapati Shahu Maharaja -
"पुनः शिव नामे करून, [राजा] जन्म घेऊन, उत्तर-दिग्विजय करणे
राहिला तो होईल"
Meaning He would return again with same name "Shivaji" for finishing His conquest of North.
The best painting on the Raireshwar Hindavi Swarajya Oath 👑
When a teenage Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja swore to restore all privileges of Hindu aristocracy and liberate Bharatvarsha.
Every single aspect is perfect. The painter deserves the highest praise for this masterpiece.
The humiliation done to Afzal Khan's body after his Vadh.
Instead of commissioning some "dargah" of Afzal, Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja did this to his body to avenge iconoclasm of Mata Tulaja Bhavani.
Exhibition upon a rectal to oral zone-connecting pole outside Pratapgad.
Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja was born in the highest pedigree the entire Hindu civilization could furnish: Suryavansha from his Father's side & Yaduvansha from his Mother's side.
It is even more pathetic that there's NOT A SHRED of evidence for calling Chattrapati a "Shudra".
Beautiful news to share.
Samadhi of Dharamveer Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaja's wife, Maharani Yesubaisaheb Bhonsale, has been found.
Details:
This is another amazing news related to him in same week as a Marathi Text on his life was brought to attention.
@TheSquind
"Also Maratha supremacists calling Shivaji Maharaj above Shri Ram are bigger re🅱️ards than those unionists"
Which Maratha said this on Twitter anywhere? Not a single Maratha.
Sanskrit Poem by Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja 👑

🔥 RAREST Painting: Maratha Warrior Queen by M. V. Dhurandar 👑
This is no random lady, but Rāmarāni Bhadrakali MAHARANI TARABAI BHONSALE herself!
Leader of the last phase of 27 Years War of Hindu Liberation (1680-1707 CE).
The Maratha Queen who buried Aurangzeb in Deccan.
Wandering Minstrel Class Guptachar Spies of the Maratha Empire 🚩
This here is a rare example of retained traditions.
They used Sign Language to communicate and pass on information, without ever coming in close proximity, across a field.
Watch carefully and note the signals.
"If the Mughals dare pursue us, we shall hound them & ruin them by driving them by force from place to place and UTTERLY CRUSH them by the grace of our King (Chattrapati Shahu Maharaja) & the blessings of our ancestors!"
— Bajirao's Letter to Chimnaji, Maratha Invasion of Delhi.
Easily one of the best shots from the movie Sarsenapati Hambirrao (2022).
Maratha Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja holding the Bhagwa, on top of a mountain of slain Mleccha corpses, overlooking a new dawn on Sahyadhris.
Shrimant Jaivantrao Chavhan & his family is very famous, respected locally as great mounted sports lovers.
However his reputation's more of a pilgrim having travelled across India by cycles-bikes-walking visiting Tirupati, Pandharpur, Amarnath, Kedarnath, Kashi, Haridwar, etc.
In case it's not clear, the Turban is the Crescent and the pearls are Ganga.
That is the whole iconography behind Maratha turbans.
"Hum woh Sipāhi, jo hai sada hi
Roop Shiva ka dhāre!"
Maratha turbans are based off Martand Malhari's (Shiva-Bhairava) crown which is the Moon.
One of the best paintings made on Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja 👑
It is in a private Maratha Wada.
Should have been available in high resolution.
Triggers a deep sense of nostalgia.
Maratha General Shrimant Sardar Godajirao Jagtap Chola cut down Afzal Khan Muhammadshahi's Lieutenant Muse Khan from his shoulder down to his crotch into 2 parts.
Muse Khan was fully armoured head to toe.
निपातितं तदा तस्य द्विधाभूतं कलेवरम्।
अभूच्च रुधिरोद्दारैररुणं धरणीतलम् ॥
Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja had made a grant of 60 Villages to the family of the last Vijaynagar Samrat.
His own father Maharaja Farzand Shahajiraje Bhonsale had saved Vijaynagar poligars during his Conquest of Mysuru too, which shows Maratha care for fellow Hindu States.
This is the last generation of Kulin Marathas who were paragons of piety, austerity.
In our households, more than the Bhonsale Chattrapati Empire, we speak of our grandfathers, great grandfathers, etc. with reverence.
The way they walked, talked, commanded situations...
The Song "Sholay/Ethira Jhenda" from the
#RRR
Movie has the most beautiful and accurate looking painting of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja ever made.
It was truly an exhilarating and honourable moment to witness it to the tune of "Vijayavaar Hai Veer Maratha Sholay, Hey!".
"Chasing Ephemeral Pleasures,
We blaspheme God.
When His Grace is not won,
The Game of 84 Lakh Lifetimes goes on.
Human Body shall indeed expire,
Hour of Doom shall indeed transpire.
Therefore King Shivaji
Forsakes Desire."
— Abhang composed by Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja 👑
When the Maratha Chattrapati visited Bijapur (now Maratha Property), He saw the humiliating statue of Vijaynagar Samrat Ramraya's head on right side of the Main Gate of Bijapur.
He had the statue broken & tossed it into a ditch, ending a centuries old saga of humiliating Hindus!
Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaj was a Man who refused to say even ONE single name of ANY of His Mughal Empire insider-supporters when Aurangzeb had seized Him.
They literally peeled Him to bones but not one name came out.
That alone concludes He was the most honourable of Men.
This is a Relic Sword, purely for religious purposes.
Its the personal possession of the Maratha God of War Martanda Malhari.
Lifting and performing stunts with it is a privilege, requires permission.
It is only symbolic.
Real Maratha Swords were lightest in Indian history.
Shri Swami Samarth Ramadasa, was famed for practicing more than 1200+ rounds of Surya Namaskars every single day.
Established tradition of having Maruti Hanuman Mandirs in practically EVERY single Maharashtrian Village.
Composed renowned Aartis, Patras & guided Maratha State.
🔥 Hindu Revenge 🔥
Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja demolished mosques all around Kalyan and Bhiwandi (Bhimapuri) in Thane, near Mumbai after his conquests.
Confirmed in his contemporary Sanskrit biography, Shivabharata Suryavansham written by Mahakavi Paramananda, Adhyaya 18.52.
This is a fake map circulated by Anti-Marathas.
Mughals lost almost all their Deccan gains in this period & became a besieged party locked in Forts.
Marathas were planted in Sironja, Odissa, Gujarat, Karnataka upto Tamil Nadu with nearly all ex-Vijaynagar Palegars in rebellion.

Waghnakh, Bichwa, and Bhavani Sword were used.
Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja was insulted by Afzal Khan, and He retorted back in return.
There was indeed an attempt to rescue Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja from Muqarrab Khan.
A private force mustered by Sardar Tulajiraje Nikam Deshmukh and Appashastri Dixit fought him in Battis Shirala.
They almost succeeded but new Mughal reinforcements from Miraj killed them.

What Marathas Saved.
"Saved the Vedas, Saved the Puranas, Saved their riverine reciters.
Saved the riverine flow of the name of Rama being chanted in every house.
Saved the Shikha of Hindus, Saved the Daily Bread of Warriors.
Saved the Sacred Yajnopavita on shoulders of Dwijas.
A Prayer Section from Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja's Text Satshatak 👑
In this, Dharamveer Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaja prays to Bhagwan Shiva to remove grief from His heart.
