Marathi Book Publishers

Mauj Prakashan or Mouj Prakashan Griha is a major (and arguably the most prestigious) publisher of Marathi books. The enterprise was started by brothers Shri Pu Bhagwat and Vi Pu Bhagwat. Ram Patwardhan has also helped guide fortunes of the enterprise.

Bhagwat Brothers also published periodicals 'Mauj' and 'Satyakatha' which were later shut down due to lack of interest. The last issue of the weekly MAUJ was published on 31 July 1960.
