"He was uncompromising when it came to standing up for values of truth and justice. We are committed to fulfilling his vision," the PM said.
Shivaji carved out an enclave from the declining Adilshahi sultanate of Bijapur that formed the genesis of the Maratha Empire. In 1674, he was formally crowned as the chhatrapati (emperor) of his realm at Raigad.
The Maharashtra government lists February 19 as a holiday commemorating Shivaji Jayanti.
