Shivaji Maharaj’s statue unveiled by PM Modi at Rajkot Fort in Sindhudurg district, Maharashtra.
PM Modi paid tribute to the rich maritime heritage of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who built several coastal and sea forts, including the Sindhudurg Fort.
The seal of the founder of the Maratha Empire inspired the new naval flag, which was adopted in 2022 when PM Modi commissioned the first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant.
In addition, the Prime Minister also attended the operational demonstrations by Indian Navy ships, submarines, aircraft, and special forces at Tarkarli Beach.
