Organising committees and local groups have planned large-scale events, including historical tableaux, dhol-tasha performances, and community gatherings. Major intersections and public spaces have been decorated with saffron flags, banners, and portraits of the Maratha warrior king.
Authorities have stepped up security arrangements to ensure smooth conduct of the festivities. Traffic diversions have been planned in key areas, and police personnel will be deployed at major procession routes to manage crowds and maintain order.
Several cultural programmes highlighting Shivaji Maharaj’s legacy, administrative vision, and military strategy are also scheduled. Schools and colleges are expected to participate through patriotic songs, speeches, and historical reenactments.
Local leaders have urged citizens to celebrate responsibly while preserving the cultural and historical significance of the occasion. Volunteers are also coordinating with civic authorities to ensure cleanliness and proper waste management during the celebrations.
