During those times, the secret meetings of the revolutionaries were always held in the Bhau Rangari’s house. He was an Ayurvedic doctor and never charged any fee from his patients. He got the title Rangari (Painter) as he was in the profession of coloring the shalu saris. It indeed is an emotional and proud moment for us at the trust to be celebrating the 125th year of the Bahusaheb Ranagari Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav.”
