Known for his charismatic personality and affable nature, Hari Raoji Chiplunkar struck a friendship with the [[Duke of Connaught]] for whom he hosted a reception and banquet in 1888. Chiplunkar built the Connaught House in what is known today as Sadhu Vaswani Chowk, where the Duke and Duchess of Connaught were given a red carpet reception. It was at this banquet, on 2 March 1888 where among the royal guests, dignitaries, industrialists and preeminent families from Bombay and Poona, Mahatma Phule chose to appear as a poor farmer wearing only a short dhoti, an old shirt, and worn out shoes.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.unipune.ac.in/chairs/mahatma_phule_chair/mphule_webfiles/Life_%20&%20_Work.htm | title=Life And Work of Mahatma Jotirao Phule | publisher=University of Pune | accessdate=26 May 2018 }}</ref> He proceeded to make a stirring speech on the destitution of the untouchables and lower classes, encouraged the Duke to visit the villages of India and witness the conditions shared by nearly nineteen crore Indians living in abject poverty. He also asked the Duke convey to Queen Victoria his message about emancipating the masses through education.

Social reformer [[Savitribai Phule]] was present at Hari Raoji Chiplunkar's funeral in 1896. In 1991, the City of Pune named the Hari Raoji Chowk commemorating Chiplunkar in Somwar Peth.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Mangudkar|first1=M.P.|title=Dr.|publisher=Sakal Newspaper|date=19 May 1991}}</ref>{{Page needed|date=February 2019}}
