Every year, Maharashtra observes Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti on February 19. Celebrated as the birth anniversary of the famous Maratha warrior and astute administrator Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who left a lasting legacy in history with his bravery, cunning, and fair rule, this day is the reason Maharashtra organizes processions, tableaux, cultural events, and speech contests. They honour Shivaji Maharaj by garlanding his sculptures. Today offers not just a chance to honour his valour. We encourage our customers to progress and finish their bank-related tasks. Still, net banking and digital services will keep on. Bank closures mean that workers must conclude their work before or after.
