shivsrushti


It was the “Shatabdipurti” (100 years completion) program of Late. Babasaheb Purabdare, when Shiv Chhatrapati Pratisthan promised him to build Shivsrushti where common man can witness Shivkalin era again. On 20th November it is his first death anniversary and Shiv Chhatrapati Pratisthan is ready to fulfill their promise on this day.

This ShivSuishti is being unveiled soon in the presence of Union Home Minister Shri Amitji Shah, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Maharashtra Tourism Minister Mangalprabhat Lodha, etc.

Background-

This historical concept started with the establishment of Pratishthan. Maharaja Shiv Chhatrapati Pratishthan was established in the month of April 1967 by the late Babasaheb Purandare in Satara under the guidance of Rajmata Sumitraraej Bhosale and Chhatrapati Pratap Singh Maharaj. The purpose behind this was that the ideas of Shivaji Mahar should be propagated throughout the state, country, and all over the world.ShivSrushti, which is being created in Ambegaon in Pune, took root in the year 1974. The tricentenary of Shivaji Maharaj’s coronation was being celebrated. At that time, Shivshahir Babasaheb Purandare established a temporary form of Shivsrushti at Shivaji Park in Mumbai.

 

That Shiva Srishti got a great response from all walks of life. Late Yashwantrao Chavan Saheb along with entrepreneurs, artists, common citizens, political leaders, etc. was also present on this occasion. Yashwantrao Chavan expressed the hope that a good permanent project should be established based on the life of Maharaj. Taking inspiration from this, he decided to build a permanent form of Shiva Srishti. This project was started in the year 1998-99.

Asia's grandest historical theme park, Shivshrusti, currently under construction at Ambegaon in Pune, is the first phase of this project. This is a project where every techno-savvy person living in today's 21st century will feel no shortage of technology after coming here. Along with this, he will feel like he has gone to the 17th century. Such a different experience and design has been done in it. Even though the design and construction of the then building and towers are from the 17th century, technology has been fully used in the construction. So that future generations continue to get the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's work.

 
 


The actual start of the project :

Historical evidence of projects and events being built in this ShivSrushti is available. Presenting such events was a big challenge for Maharaja Shiv Chhatrapati Pratishthan. It was established that there should be adequate documentation of all this and Babasaheb Purandare established a committee for this. These included historians, scholars of forts, and experts working in the field of history. Babasaheb himself was in this group, late Ninadji Bedekar, late Dr. Shivde, Late Sadashivarao Gorakskar, Pandurangji Balakawade, Pvt. Dr. K Ghanekar, Raigad, PhD on the subject. Rama Lohokare, Sachin Joshi, etc. were included in this.

 

 


Discussions were held on which things in Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja’s life would be an inspiration for the next generation. Its hand sketches were done by architect Rahul Chemburkar. It was filmed and presented before this committee by Abhikalpan, an organization designed by architect Kedar Kulkarni. Ajitrao Apte was the secretary of this committee. After a lot of discussions, the plan of ShivSrushti was prepared.

Combining Technology and History-

This Shivsrushti is being built using the latest technology. It includes all the technologies that are available in the entertainment sector globally. In this, the techniques used in theme parks like holography, Animatrix, project mapping, miniatures, motion simulation, 3D, 4D technology, light, and sound, etc. are being used for the first time in India in such historical projects, Shivsrushti.

The cost of this project, which is being prepared in four phases, is approximately Rs 438 crore. The project has so far received Rs 60 crore from enthusiastic donors in the first phase. Some funds were made available through the experiment of Mahanatya Janata Raja. With the help of Babasaheb Purandre's more than 12 thousand lectures, the work of Shivsrushti started.

 

In the first phase, the journey to the forts, the scene of the coronation, and the release of the Maharaja from Agra have been realized using 3D technology. The next generation should be aware of The principles of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja while establishing and building Swarajya. Entrepreneurs, youth, or others should develop the personality of Maharaj's strategy and strategic governance.

The concept is to become a place of inspiration and a cultural center that inspires Shivaji Maharaj's thoughts. Citizens from abroad as well as from the state and Pune should visit this project and enjoy this Asia's grandest historical theme park project. Such an appeal is being made by the Maharaja Shiv Chhatrapati Foundation.
