Chhatrapati Shivaji Museum

The tiger claw that Maratha emperor Chhatrapati Shivaji is believed to have used to kill General Afzal Khan is back in Maharashtra after 350 years. The state government has brought it on loan from London's Albert Museum for three years.

The 'wagh nakh' or tiger claw-shaped weapon used by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was brought to Mumbai from a London museum today, state Culture Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar said.

The 'wagh nakh' or tiger claw-shaped weapon that is being brought to Maharashtra from London was used by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, minister Sudhir Mungantiwar told the legislative assembly today.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's legendary 'wagh nakh', the 'tiger claw' weapon he used to defeat Bijapur sultanate's general Afzal Khan in 1659, is set to return to Maharashtra from London in November.

The wagh nakh is likely to be housed in the Chhatrapati Shivaji Sanghralaya (museum) in south Mumbai.

The restoration of the 100-year-old Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya in Mumbai has won a top award from UNESCO, with the jury hailing it as a project that "sets a standard" for the conservation of world heritage monuments.

The Maharashtra government has approached the Centre to get back a sword of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj which is in a museum in the United Kingdom, state culture minister Sudhir Mungantiwar said on Thursday.

A Mughal Museum being constructed in the Taj Mahal city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh will be named after Maratha icon Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced on Monday.

A majority of museums and cultural repositories in India stand at risk of suffering "grave damage" in the event of a major fire, an international expert has cautioned and suggested that a disaster management plan should be properly implemented by these institutions.

Maharashtra government wants to raise the height of the ambitious Shivaji memorial off Mumbai coast from 192 metres to 210 metres, reportedly because it wants to surpass a Buddha statue coming up in China.

The chief of London's prestigious British Museum has decided to quit and will be taking on a more part-time role advising a leading museum in India.

Apart from being a part of the state's first museum dedicated to the Maratha warrior king along the newly constructed Sahar elevated road, the six-metre-tall, bronze statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji would also act as a tourist attraction. The open-air museum where the statue would be installed is walking distance away from Terminal 2 (T2) of the inter...
