The historic tiger claw-shaped weapon “Wagh Nakh” used by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to kill Bijapur Sultanate general Afzal Khan in the 1659 Battle of Pratapgarh returned to India on 19 July, 2024 after 350 Years.

The weapon, brought to India from London’s Victoria and Albert Museum on July 17 to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Maratha ruler’s ascension to the throne, received a grand welcome in Western Maharashtra’s Satara.

Chief Minister Shri Eknath Shinde, along with Deputy CMs Shri Devendra Fadnavis and Shri Ajit Pawar, Culture Affairs Minister Shri Sudhir Mungantiwar, and members of the royal family of Satara, attended the event. The Chief Minister praised Shri Mungantiwar’s efforts to bring the weapon from London.
