 So, Chatre and his wife decided to establish one. His wife was a trapeze artiste and a trainer of wild animals.  Thus, the first Indian circus company was established in 1880 in Taasgaon, in Miraj district. The first show of Chatre’s Great Indian Circus was held on March 20th  1880 and the audience was a select group of people, including the Rajah.
