shield (dhaal) is made in the year 1757 by a Maratha king in the memory of his soldier Somajirao who lost his life fighting for his country. The shield made in gold thus becomes historical and is passed down the generations of the king. But to avoid it getting into wrong hands at the time of the Mughal and British rules, during one such generations, a queen decides to keep the shield in a museum for safe custody. And after 250 years Sayajirao, who the dhaal belongs to now, decides to bring it out during the Ganapati festival at his wada in the village.
