The formation of Maharashtra on May 1, 1960, was the culmination of a multi-year struggle led by the Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti. Following the Bombay Reorganisation Act, the bilingual state of Bombay was divided into two distinct linguistic entities: Maharashtra for Marathi speakers and Gujarat for Gujarati speakers.

The day also honours the 105 martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the movement. Consequently, the primary state-level celebration is held at Shivaji Park in Dadar, where the Governor of Maharashtra typically unfurls the national flag and addresses the state. Maharashtra Day and Gujarat Day 2026: How the 2 States Were Formed on May 1, 1960.
