Nagpur Bhosale Dynasty Founder's Historic Sword Returns To Maharashtra After 200 Years
Last Updated: The sword belonged to Raghuji Bhosale, a fearless commander under Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, who gave him the title Senasahib Subha for his bravery and strategic skill News18 A priceless piece of Maratha history is finally returning home. The sword of Raghuji Bhosale—the legendary founder of the Nagpur Bhosale dynasty and one of the most daring commanders in the Maratha army—has been secured by the Maharashtra government from London and will arrive in Mumbai on August 18. The sword was unexpectedly put up for auction on April 28 this year, sparking excitement and pride across Maharashtra. As soon as cultural affairs minister Ashish Shelar heard about it, he discussed the matter with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Determined to bring the sword back to India, the government worked quickly, coordinating with the Indian Embassy and appointing an intermediary to participate in the auction. Their swift action paid off, and Maharashtra won the bid. This week in London, Shelar met the intermediary, completed all the legal procedures, and officially took possession of the sword. For the first time in its history, the state has brought back a historic artefact from abroad through an auction. 'This is not just a weapon, it's a witness to our glorious past," Shelar said, calling the moment a victory for every citizen of Maharashtra. The event drew several Marathi-speaking people living in London, who came to witness this special moment. Deputy Director of the Archaeology Department, Hemant Dalvi, was also present during the handover. The sword will land at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport at 10am on August 18. It will then be taken in a bike rally to PL Deshpande Kala Academy in Dadar, where it will be displayed during a programme called Gad Garjana. Raghuji Bhosale I (1695 – 1755) was a fearless commander under Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, who gave him the title Senasahib Subha for his bravery and strategic skill. He led successful campaigns in Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and parts of South India, expanding the Maratha Empire's reach. The sword is a Maratha-style Firangi — a straight, single-edged European blade fitted with a gold-inlaid Mulheri hilt. Near the hilt, the name 'Shreemant Raghoji Bhosale Senasahib Subha Firang" is inscribed in Devanagari, confirming its royal ownership. Its gold koftgari decoration makes it rare, as most Maratha weapons were functional and unadorned. Historians believe the sword may have left India after the 1817 Battle of Sitabuldi, when the British East India Company defeated the Nagpur Bhosales and seized their treasures. Now, after more than two centuries abroad, the sword is returning to the land where it was forged, fought with, and celebrated—a homecoming that carries both pride and history for Maharashtra. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Heritage buildings in Coimbatore get a makeover
Coimbatore: Set up by the British in 1853, the Governor's Bungalow, a heritage building behind the highways office on Trichy Road in the city, was in a dilapidated state until recently. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now None would have called it an iconic building. Today, it is being restored to its past glory at a cost of Rs10.25 crore. Another heritage building that houses CCMA Govt Girls Higher Secondary School on Raja Street in the city is also getting a facelift at a cost of Rs7.60 crore. Both the British-era buildings are being renovated by the Heritage Wing of the Public Works Department (PWD) by preserving their original architectural style by employing century-old construction techniques. Both buildings come with the Madras terrace roof consisting of brick, lime mortar layers supported by wooden rafters and steel beams. Teak wood is used for doors, windows and steps. "The design features 2.5ft thick walls for temperature control, ceilings at a minimum height of 15ft and 10ft tall doors and windows for natural light and ventilation. Lime mortar binds the bricks and stones, enhancing durability and weather resistance," a PWD official said. The Governor's Bungalow was initially used by a landlord from Sulur as a rest house. Impressed by its architecture and location near Valankulam, Sir Arthur Lawley, then Governor of the Madras Presidency, stayed there during his visits to the region with the landlord's consent. The building was finally occupied by the Forest department until shifting to new premises in 2011. The record room remained there until 2013, and the building was vacated completely in 2016. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Since then, it has been unused. "Over time, the building suffered severe damage. The Madras terrace roof lost strength, and wooden rafters decayed due to dampness. The ground floor roof partially collapsed. We are restoring the structure to its original form, strength and resilience," the official said. Constructed using locally sourced red bricks and stones, with steel imported from London, the heritage building that houses the school had structural issues such as seepage and crack. Its windows and doors were too not in proper use, the official said. "We completely replaced the roof, and the windows and doors were replaced with teak wood. The restoration involved traditional techniques, including Mughal-style smooth lime plaster and heritage-patterned tile flooring," he said. According to a school education department official, the heritage school building remains a symbol of Coimbatore's contribution to women's education. Though the exact year of construction is unknown, it once housed the Coimbatore Collector's office administrative building and a court. The institution began as a female normal school in January 1885, was upgraded to a high school in 1894, and later underwent several transformations before becoming a govt higher secondary school in 1978. The PWD official said the restoration of both buildings was expected to be completed within a month. "Now, the final finishing work is in progress."

Who made the first Butter Chicken?
Butter chicken, or Murgh Makhani, is one of India's most iconic dishes, known for its rich, creamy tomato-based gravy and tender tandoori chicken. While it's now a global favorite, this legendary dish has a fascinating origin story rooted in post-independence India. Let's explore who really made the first butter chicken. A Delicious Accident at Moti Mahal The first butter chicken was created in the 1950s by Kundan Lal Gujral, founder of the legendary Moti Mahal restaurant in Delhi. Along with his partners Kundan Lal Jaggi and Thakur Dass, Gujral had fled from Peshawar during the Partition of India and settled in Delhi. At Moti Mahal, they popularized tandoori cooking—and butter chicken was born out of necessity. How Butter Chicken Was Invented According to popular accounts, the dish was invented as a creative way to use leftover tandoori chicken. To avoid waste, the chefs mixed the dry, leftover chicken with a rich sauce made from butter (makhan), tomatoes, cream, and aromatic spices. The result was a luscious, mildly spiced curry that was both comforting and indulgent. Tandoori Chicken Gravy What made butter chicken unique was the combination of two culinary techniques: tandoori-style roasted chicken and a Punjabi-style makhani (buttery) sauce. The smoky flavor from the clay oven and the creamy tomato gravy created a dish that quickly became a hit with locals and foreign visitors alike. Global Rise of Butter Chicken From the streets of Delhi, butter chicken's fame spread across India and eventually around the world. It became a staple in Indian restaurants overseas and remains a favorite among people unfamiliar with Indian cuisine due to its mild heat and creamy texture. Today, it's often confused with chicken tikka masala—but butter chicken is the original. Legacy of Kundan Lal Gujral Kundan Lal Gujral's invention didn't just lead to a single dish—it influenced an entire genre of North Indian cuisine. His legacy continues through the Moti Mahal chain, and butter chicken remains a timeless representation of Indian culinary innovation and adaptation.
