On the 21st of January 2018, five cousins celebrated their 85th and 90th years – the descendants of four Jatar brothers, the sons of Shriram Jatar – Kashinath (Bapurao), Rangnath (Balasaheb), Nilkanth (Bhausaheb) and Vishnu (Abasaheb).
On the 21st of January the descendants of four Jatar brothers (Kashinath (Bapurao), Rangnath (Balasaheb), Nilkanth (Bhausaheb), and Vishnu (Abasaheb) came together to celebrate their birthday.
One fine Sunday morning in Pune the Jatar clan (whoever could make it) met under one roof. Shreelekha tai’s Munot Hall (they run the Kamayani school and the hall, both started by Sindhutai Joshi, Shreelekha Kulkarni’s mother). Six branches met – the descendants of four brothers and two sisters of Shriram Jatar – Bapurao, Balasaheb, Bhausaheb, Abasaheb, Autai and Godutai. The link to the video of the function is here.
(The tree and badges for the occasion were made by Madhavi Date nee Jatar with inputs provided by Brig. Raghunath Jatar)
The programme commenced with the lighting of a lamp by Shreelekha Kulkarni, the daughter of Sindhutai Joshi (the late grand-daughter of Shriram Jatar and the daughter of Autai Bhupatkar).
This was followed by an audio visual show (these videos will be posted later). The show lasted for one hour and seniors from different branches said a few words. It had humour and information, both. The audience was rapt. An audience of different generations. Continue reading “Jatar Get-Together on the 29th of November 2015”→
This is a photograph of some Jatars, and also others who had a female Jatar ancestor. This photograph was taken on the seventy-fifth birthday celebrations. These men are more or less the same age although some are cousins, and others children of cousins. You can check out if you see any resemblance between them!
From LtoR: Sudhir jatar, Jayant Jatar, Bal Borgaonkar, Ashok Bhajekar, Raghunath Jatar and Chandu Jatar.
All of the women in this photograph are the spouses, not of Jatar ancestry.
The women sitting are Sarla Jatar (née Purandare), wife of Sudhir Jatar, Manda Borgaokar (née Purandare), wife of Bal Borgaokar, Suneela Bhajekar (née Ganorkar) and Nilakshi Jatar (née Bal), wife of Raghunath Jatar.
1) Chandu Jatar is the son of Babukaka who was the son of Bapurao Jatar, who was the eldest son of Shriram Jatar. Chandu is the same age as Sudhir, because of the age difference between the two brothers – Bapurao and Bhausaheb. 2) Maj. Gen. SCN Jatar is the son of Lt. Col. Sir Nilkanth Shriram Jatar, who was the younger brother of Bapurao. 3) Bal Borgaokar’s mother was a Jatar and her name was Kumudini Jatar, and she was the daughter of Balasaheb (brother to Bapurao and Bhausaheb), son of Shriram Jatar. Kumudini’s husband was Shankarao Borgaokar. 4) Ashok Bhajekar is the son of Indirabai Bhajekar, who was the eldest child of Lt. Col. Sir Nilkanth Shriram Jatar 5) Brig. Raghunath Jatar is the son of Abbasaheb, who was also known as Vishnu Shriram Jatar, another one of Shriram’s sons, and brother to Bapurao, and Bhausaheb. 6) Jayant (Dattatrya) Jatar, is the son of Appasaheb, who was the son of Bapurao. Due to the fact that Bapurao was many years older than Bhausaheb, Jayant is the same age as Sudhir. He is married to Sheela Pandit, but she is not in the photograph.
