Shivaji Weapons

On the 350th anniversary of Shivaji's coronation, an exhibition in the heart of New Delhi brings forward the legacy of the Maratha warrior, the weaponry used by his forces and his contemporaries.

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.

A 32-year-old man was killed with sharp weapons by nine people at Datta Nagar in Kondhwa Budruk in the wee hours yesterday. The deceased, Dnyaneshwar Shivaji Jadhav, was riding a bike to his vegetable stall in Market Yard with his brother-in-law Ankush Mane when a gang of nine people intercepted them with a rope laid on the road.
