Welcome to the Empire is the Seema Peshwa's poem that tells everything about this society.

Near Powder Road of Kothrud

Mhatoba took the hill to Urashi,

Pethkars built the city

This verse offers everything

Welcome to the Empire

Discovery of all arts, Jallosh Kari Sakar

Small nobles and servants

Singing, drama or dance

Appreciates the gross empire

During the Kalyani Kulkarni-Corona period, groceries, medicines, vegetables, even flour were provided at home. Along with the children's studies, office work also started at home. All the festivals from Dahihandi to Holi have become a tradition to be celebrated together in the kingdom. Corona came up with the idea of launching a digital Diwali issue as Diwali should not be missed during the period and everyone responded spontaneously to the initiative.
