PUNE
Pune, the cultural soul of Maharashtra, pairs Maratha-era palaces and ancient Buddhist caves with leafy parks, museums and a lively student-city buzz.
Shaniwar Wada
Shaniwar Wada is a grand 18th-century fortified palace in the heart of Pune, once the seat of the Peshwa rulers of the Maratha Empire. Though a fire left mainly its mighty stone ramparts and ornate gateways standing, it remains Pune's most iconic landmark — an enduring symbol of Maratha glory and a must-visit for a glimpse into the city's history.
