These colourful figurines, popularly called as Mavale (Mavle or Mawale or मावळे), are used to decorate forts (Diwali Killa) made of clay or other similar material during Diwali. 

The forts are made similar to the ones valiantly conquered and built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. These figurines represent the mighty Maratha King himself, Tanhaji and other key members and people of the Maratha empire.

This Mavale (मावळे) set, is also a great pretend play activity to boost creativity and visualization skills. Building forts and decorating them together with these figurines during Diwali is a very enriching and engaging experience for the family. One also learns about the glorious history of the Maratha empire of India in an interactive manner.
