Chatrapati Shivaji breathed his last on 3rd March 1680 at the famous Raigarh Fort. His life was a continued fight for the honour of the country and against the attack of the Moghuls. He is one King who continued to fight against the powerful Moghuls and continued to be independent all his life. His escape from the well planned trap by the Moghul Satrap Asfal Khan is history.

He is an icon  of courage and Maharashtrians honour his memory in almost all functions. One can seen his statues in almost all parts of Maharashtra and even inside the P&T buildings, especially at the Reception itself.

He is part of the great leaders who fought to ensure that the country is free.
