The life and times of Shiv Chhatrapati was a period of Hindu renaissance, one in which rose a Maratha from the hills of the Deccan to challenge the Islamic invaders. Maneesh Godbole has developed an App called ShivKaal that serves as a guide to understanding this important period of Hindu history in general and Deccan history in particular.

“A chronological view of the life and times of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. This interactive app tabulates all the events before and after Shivaji Maharaj’s birth, his trials and tribulations which he overcame to establish the Maratha kingdom, which eventually blossomed into an Empire”, reads the App description.

The App aims to make important information regarding Deccan history available at one’s fingertips. It also provides references to books and provides options to filter data according to the time period of one’s choice.

The App is a History lover’s delight and is available on both Google Play and Apple Play stores. It is reasonably priced at Rs 50 on Google Play and Rs 99 on Apple Store.
