Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Tekdi

Pawan Fande 21 months ago

Near Amravati Bus Station there is a small hill called Shivtekdi or Maltekdi.
Very little information about Maltekdi is available on the internet
The kings of Amravati in ancient times had a watch tower on this hill.
Due to this, the enemies coming from afar and their soldiers were visible to the king's soldiers and they used to prepare their soldiers for battle.
At the time of the spread of door darshan in the 19th century, the first tower was installed in Amravati.
There is a big idol of Shivaji Maharaj sitting on a horse on this Shivtekdi, there is one darga.Amravati Municipal Corporation emphasized on the redevelopment of Shivtekdi.So it progressed and a footpath was made here on which people could come for a walk every morning and evening.A lot of trees were planted there along with beautification.
After seeing the colorful leaves and flowers of different colors of those trees, people feel very happy.
A brisk walk up this hill will give you a lot of sweat and a good workout.
The hill was built with outdoor games for children to play and open jim for the outdoors exercise of adults as well as different types of landscape.
The redevelopment of this place has been well equipped and beautified keeping in mind that people of all ages should be able to use it to the maximum and everyone should be able to exercise and have fun.I am uploading some photos of this place so you can get an idea of the development and beauty of this place so check out those photos and videos. At one spot there is a stone sticking out of the fencing and the stone is decorated in the color of a snake's head and from a distance it looks like a real snake is peeking its head out.
What precautions should we take?
You can come here for weekend walk or morning and evening and any day or any day of the week. If you come here, you can buy food or drink from the small shopkeepers here but be careful that you don't want to do any kind of plastic waste pollution here. Walk around the place, exercise, enjoy and please take care to keep the place clean.So friends definitely come to visit the beautiful Maltekdi Shivtekdi and guide and suggest your friends to come here too.

Beautiful place and hill at the centre of city. You can practice of hiking. Also it has earthen track. Also at backside of maltekadi is garden and open theatre.
No fees here except for parking.
And atmosphere is really healthy and fresh. View of city at night is really beautiful.

It's a small hill situated in the center of Amravati. There's a statue of great Chhatrapati shivaji maharaj at the top of it and also a mosque. There's a walking path all around it surrounded by green trees, which is used by thousands of people. There is also a little garden for children and a nana nani park.
The main problem with this place is encroachment in the parking area by small flower sellers.
One can also get fresh juices and fruits outside the maltekdi in morning hours.
