📝 About The Book

The collection "Kanchan"—meaning "gold" in Marathi—beautifully captures the golden moments of history, portrayed through the artistic and tender writing of Shivaji Sawant. Each story in this collection brings to life the most delicate and profound moments of legendary figures like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and First Bajirao Peshwa, alongside other significant personalities like Acharya Atre, Anna Alias G.D. Madgulkar, and the renowned musician Vasant Desai.

Shivaji Sawant’s gentle touch not only highlights the grandeur of historical events but also brings forth the lives of ordinary people, such as Bhai Manohar Kotwal, who gave a new dimension to the struggles of dock workers.

Among the most compelling stories are the articles based on Dnyaneshwar, which stand out as the most significant and thought-provoking pieces in the collection. These stories are meant to be savored in a peaceful, reflective environment, inviting readers to experience the profound wisdom and beauty contained in these golden moments.

This book is a must-have for anyone looking to treasure and reflect upon the richness of Marathi history and literature.
