Shivsrushti recreates the era of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj through elements such as the Sarkarwada, which reflects Maratha royal architecture, a temple dedicated to Goddess Bhavani, and several other historical structures. These are supported by stories, paintings, museum artifacts, and various installations that collectively bring the historical period to life. Currently, a growing number of visitors are coming to experience this recreation and draw inspiration from it. As a special initiative, entry to Shivsrushti is being offered at a nominal fee of ₹50, valid only until July 15.

With summer vacations going on, visitors can enjoy a comfortable, air-conditioned experience while immersing themselves in the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj era. This initiative aims to educate the younger generations about Shivaji Maharaj’s history, his struggles, his visionary governance, and the dream of Swarajya he fought for. It is our sincere intention to spread the values of Swarajya and Swadharma envisioned by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. We believe Shivsrushti, spread across a 21-acre campus in Ambegaon Budruk, Pune – 411 046, will reach more and more people“.

Visitors to Shivsrushti can explore sections such as Durgavaibhav (Fort Grandeur), Ranangann (Battlefield), a hall depicting the thrilling escape from Agra, and Shrimant Yogi, an experience that makes it feel like you’re directly interacting with Shivaji Maharaj. There’s also Simhasanadhishwar, portraying the coronation scene, and high-resolution image prints of paintings from world-renowned museums showcasing the life of Shivaji Maharaj.

“Additionally, the Time Machine Theatre is proving to be a major attraction. Here, visitors can travel back thousands of years via a time capsule to visually and audibly experience Shivaji Maharaj’s era. Using cutting-edge technology like mapping, holography, physical effects, and a 360-degree rotating theatre, this immersive show brings history to life.

PUNE: Shivsrushti, Asia’s largest historical theme park being developed in Ambegaon Budruk, Pune, has received a generous donation of Rs 51 lakhs from the Abhay Bhutada Foundation, Pune. As per Abhay Bhutda’s wishes, this donation will be used to spread awareness about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s life and legacy among the masses. To achieve this, Shivsrushti will offer tickets at a nominal rate of Rs 50 to visitors from May 15 to July 15, 2025. The tickets will be available online through Shivsrushti’s official website only.

Jagdish Kadam, Chairman of Shivsrushti, stated that this project is designed and developed as per Babasaheb Purandare’s wish to create awareness about the humanitarian qualities of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. This initiative will enable enthusiasts to experience the grandeur of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s era in a comfortable and air-conditioned environment.

Shivsrushti- The theme park, spread over 21 acres, showcases the life and legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Shivsrushti invites all interested individuals to register online and take advantage of this limited but unique opportunity to explore the theme park at a minimal cost.

Recently, in February, the second phase of Shivsrushti was inaugurated by Maharashtra’s Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, on the occasion of Shiv Jayanti.

Shrimant Chhatrapati Udayanraje Bhosle, Murlidhar Mohol. Minister of State for Cooperation and Civil Aviation, Ashish Shelar, Minister for Information Technology, Chandrakant Patil, Higher and Technical Education Minister, Nana Jadhav and Ravindra Wanjarwadkar from RSS, Jagdish Kadam, Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, Amrut Purandare, Vineet Kuber and Dr. Ajit Apte from Maharaj Shivchharapati Pratishthan were present on the occasion.

After experiencing some attractions like Time Machin at the second phase of Shivsrushti, a theme park on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, CM Devendra Phadnavis said, “I am speechless. I have seen many high-tech theme parks but the the amount of involvement and inspiration that I could draw at Shivsrushti today is beyond words. We always tend to identify Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as a warrior King. However, it is heartening to see some other humanitarian aspects of Shivaji Maharaj and his connection with the people through 3 core principles that were dear to him including Swadesh, Swadharma, and Swabhasha.”

“Though the Government of Maharashtra has recognized Shivsrushti as a mega tourism project, I feel that it is not merely a tourism project. It is a place that inspires you, a place where you study and understand different aspects of Chhatrapati’s personality. Central Government under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi has officially granted the status of a Classical Language to Marathi and has acknowledged Marathi’s deep historical roots and its role in shaping the nation’s cultural identity. It was Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj who first took the lead in making Marathi the official language of the Maratha Kingdom by making a successful attempt to free it from the influence of the Arabi and Farsi languages. Unless we have a patriotic young generation that understands the history of the country, we as a country can not progress in the right direction. So, PM Modi has given the Vikas Bhi – Virasat Bhi concept to us. I feel projects like Shivsrushti will play a significant role in this regard“, CM Devendra Phadnavis added.

Jagdish Kadam, Trustee of Maharaja Shivchhtrapati Pratishthan said that the 3rd phase has been developed with an investment of Rs.87 Cr. It has many attractions like Time Machine Theatre, Replica of Tulja Bhavani Temple at Pratapgad, and a massive welcome hall with large portraits of Shivaji Maharaj which are the prints of high-resolution images of original paintings of Shivaji Maharaj from different museums around the world. The idol of Goddess Tulja Bhavani is created under the guidance of Dr. G. B. Deglurkar.

“I will use my experience at Shivsrushti to propagate Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his great works in my constituency. The biography of a worrier like Shivaji Maharaj starts when we think of the end of all possibilities. Recently when I was contesting Lok sabha elections from Hyderabad many cautioned me and told me that it’s an unconquerable fort. to which I used to reply that If Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj can escape from the Agra fort of Aurangzeb to create Swaraj then anything is possible. Now the people have started saying that the established candidate of Hyderabad is beatable”, she added.
