Mohiniraj Publications has been operating in the culturally rich city of Dombivli since 1989. We have provided a platform for over ten thousand aspiring writers and poets. Our magazine and book publishing activities continue to be unparalleled in Dombivli and the Mumbai area, and we are listed among many renowned publications. We have published 250 books to date. Mohiniraj Publications has been working effectively for the past 35 years to expand its service activities throughout Maharashtra and other states, to instill good values ​​in young men and women, and to bring better days to the entire literary movement and the Marathi language.

Through Mohiniraj Publications, we publish the Mohiniraj quarterly magazine, and in addition, we started the book publishing business in 1998. This book publishing venture received a good response. We have published books by many budding writers and continue to do so.

In our journey of providing a platform for aspiring writers, we have received guidance from many renowned and established authors, novelists, ghazal writers, and critics. Throughout our journey, senior critic Mrs. Anjali Bapat, Mrs. Padmavati Jawale, ghazal writer Mr. Kiran Joglekar, Mr. Ashok Naygaonkar, Mr. Arun Mhatre, and other prominent literary figures have provided invaluable support and guidance to our publishing house. What you see today is the result of their efforts.

We maintain regular contact with various organizations for the distribution of the Mohiniraj magazine. Our books are distributed in Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Nashik, Raigad, Ahmednagar, Dhule, Jalgaon, etc. We aim to publish at least one thousand copies of each book through our organization.

Our publications and magazine have received 19 awards so far, of which we are very proud. Currently, due to the TV, mobile, and digital culture, reading is completely declining. The time has come when "If you read, you will survive." Therefore, cultivate a love for reading in your family, neighborhood, and society. Good values ​​must be preserved for the younger generation. The habit of reading Marathi literature must be maintained. To ensure a happy, prosperous, and fulfilling family life in the future, the Mohiniraj organization has been providing a platform for budding writers, poets, and artists through its website, Mohiniraj, since 2025.  It is striving to extend the Marathi literary movement and the love of reading beyond Maharashtra to other parts of India and the world.
