Historic 'Waghnakh' in Nagpur: A Glorious Tribute to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
The Roar of Swarajya Still Echoes in Our Freedom! 🚩
It was a great honour to inaugurate the exhibition hall showcasing legendary weapons, including the historic 'Waghnakhe,' at the Central Museum (Ajab Bungalow), Nagpur—a tribute to the valour of our greatest king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Also unveiled an information booklet on Shivkalin weapons at the Kavivarya Suresh Bhat Auditorium, Nagpur.
This display serves as a powerful reminder of the valour and strategic brilliance of our great warrior king. It is truly a historic moment that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's 'WaghNakhe' has returned to India, thanks to the efforts of our Maharashtra Government, especially the then Cultural Minister Sudhirbhau Mungantiwar.
We were present at the inauguration of the 'WaghNakh' display at Satara’s museum along with DCM Eknath Shinde and DCM Ajitdada Pawar. Thousands of people gathered to witness this historic moment and the overwhelming response and enthusiasm of the people reflected their deep admiration and unwavering respect for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s legacy, making this inauguration a truly unforgettable and historic occasion.
Our Nagpur’s museum is known as Ajab Bangla and now, with the arrival of 'WaghNakhe' and other Shivkalin weapons, this legacy is further strengthened, allowing people to connect deeply with the valour and vision of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. This display is not just an exhibition but an opportunity for future generations to witness and draw inspiration from our glorious past.
Also, appreciate to the Postal Department for releasing a special Postal Ticket of 'WaghNakhe,' adding another proud moment to this historic occasion. Earlier, 9 such tickets were issued on the auspicious occasion of the 350th Rajyabhishek Din, honouring the rich legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
The dedicated efforts of the Department of Cultural Affairs in preserving our rich heritage and fostering historical awareness among the youth are truly commendable. Whether it is bringing our invaluable legacy back home or inspiring future generations with its glory, these initiatives ensure that history remains alive, resonating with pride and inspiration for years to come.
