All the people en route were out of their houses from kids to old grandmas and grandpas to see the new Shivaji Statue. Fireworks on the way and dhol tasha and ancient stick arts were being performed before the Statute. The procession which began @ 8 pm now has reached its destination.

Its 9.45 pm and the statue of Shivaji is till on its way to Shivteerth, Its now on Congress road, Near First Gate. This huge delay has been caused due to the immense enthusiasm of the people who are welcoming the statute in grand manner.
The statue will reach Shivteerth only after 11 pm. It must have been really a long journey for Shivaji.
Jai Bhavni Jai Shivaji

The Shivaji Statue to be installed at the Shivteerth, military Mahadev is now approaching the Shivteerth. While I am typing this Statue is now at Tilak Chowk. The crowd is getting bigger and bigger as the procession is going forward. Shivaji is getting a Welcome at all the street corners.
The procession, which began from Bogarves, will reach Shivteerth by the late afternoon via Shahpur Congress Road. The weather here has become very cloudy and the sun is playing hide and seek here. In all it’s a nice atmosphere to dance with the Dhol and tasha and say "Shivaji Maharaj ki Jai"

This is no ordinary wall nor a wall of a Fort, its the wall on the ground next to Military Mahadev, which now holds the replicas of all the Shiva Kalin Forts. This is the outer wall of the same.
In this photo you can see the development work going on inside. In between the replicas of the various forts a new Bronze Statue of Shivaji Maharaj will be put up. The statue is estimated to cost Rs.51 lakhs. The MLIRC has contributed a few and taken care of building all the other infrastructiure needed. Whereas donations have been taken from the general public for the Shivaji Statue.In fact a few solar street lamps have been fitted already in the area to check the lighting. The Statue is expected to come in the coming weeks and this new year Belgaumites will have something very attractive to see at.
