A connection to history

Shivaji has a permanent place in the history of Maharashtra (this statue of shivaji is from Shivaji Park, Mumbai .... i have not seen a more spectacular statue of shivaji yet!)



Sinhagad and Pune are a special part of that history - and somehow i dont recall ever having seen a shivaji statue in pune! i would love to know where in pune they are located!

Blast from the past ...

Old Institutions ....




Ofcourse - these buildings are very much still there are Shivaji Park - the photos were clicked about 2 weeks ago

The Hanuman temple atop the "tekdi" with Sinhagad in the background ...

Mumbai's finest offering the salute while the national anthem plays on at the Republic Day parade at Shivaji Park, Dadar. In the back are the Udyan Ganesh temple and the statue of Shivaji
