[1][2] Shivaji I was born at the Shivneri fort on the third day of the Krishna Paksha of the Phalgun month in the year 1551 of the Shalivahan Shaka.

[3] In the Gregorian calendar, the date generally occurs between February and March.

However, many Hindus celebrate Shiv Jayanti as per the Hindu calendar.

[4] The Marathi Shalivahana Hindu calendar birthdate of Shivaji is Falgun Krishna paksha 3, 1551[5] Julian February 19, 1630, in Shivneri Fort.

The error of not converting the Julian date to the corresponding Gregorian one is still not corrected.
