Dear Team,
Please Note, Maharashtras Official Language is MARATHI and not Hindi.

Request you to kindly correct this.

Surely this page needs more inclusivity, more references and more information. The photos also are very limited. Satish-ansingkar (talk) 13:50, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please elaborate on what’s missing, and how you can contribute.Thanks. Jonathansammy (talk) 17:43, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please note: We use the “Common names” in English for our articles, not the “Official names“, and changing the name can break internal links to those articles, and is confusing to our readers. – Arjayay (talk) 20:00, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
