The world’s tallest and most magnificent full-body statue of Dharmaveer Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, called the “Statue of Hindubhushan”, is being erected in Pimpri-Chinchwad—an awe-inspiring monument that will be admired globally. The saffron flag is a symbol of valor and pride, and to honor this flag and the sacrifice of Shambhuraje, Maharashtra is set to witness the state’s largest traditional drum-and-cymbal tribute—a historic and thunderous ceremony.

At Borhade Wadi, Moshi, on the land of the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA), the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation and the State Government have approved the construction of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s full-body statue and Shambhu Srushti. This grand memorial is being built under the guidance of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, conceptualized by MLA and President of the Hindubhushan Memorial Trust, Mahesh Landge.

In Maharashtra, the traditional celebration of drums and cymbals holds a special place.
