It is unknown when the festival started. It became a major social and public event with sponsorship of Chatrapati shivaji maharaj after Mughal-Maratha wars. It became popular again in the 19th century after public appeal by Indian freedom fighter Lokmanya tilak who championed it as a means to circumvent the colonial British government ban on Hindu gatherings through its anti-public assembly legislation in 1892.
