Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's coronation days Celebrated Twice 

According to the Hindu calendar, Shivaji Maharaj was crowned in the Raigad fort on the Trayodashi date of the Shukla Paksha of Jyeshtha month in 1674. After this event, he got the title of Chhatrapati. The English calendar marks the celebration of Shivarajyabhishek Diwas on 6 June every year. However, this year in 2024, the event falls on 20 June, commemorating the 351st anniversary of the Shivarajyabhishek Sohala. It was only after his coronation that he earned the prestigious title of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Known as the founder of the Maratha Empire, he valiantly battled the Adilshahi of Bijapur and the Mughal Empire in his quest to establish an independent Maratha Empire.
