The Government of Maharashtra, through its autonomous institution Amrut (Research, Development, and Training Academy), has launched Amrut Durgotsav 2025 - a grand people's festival celebrating Maharashtra's 12 UNESCO-recognized forts associated with the legendary Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

A Celebration of Fort Pride and Public Unity

Amrut Durgotsav 2025 is envisioned as a people's movement that encourages every citizen to honor Maharashtra's historical pride. Participants are invited to create replicas of any one of the twelve UNESCO-listed forts and upload selfies with their creations on the official website - www.durgotsav.com.

Each participant receives a personalized certificate of appreciation digitally signed by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, commemorating their contribution to this unique record-setting celebration.
