Shaniwar Wada Pune :

Shaniwarwada, when the seat of the Peshwa administration in Pune is a 286-year-old house and is one of the best instances of engineering in the city. It is currently a standout amongst the most well known vacationer goals in Maharashtra. This fantastic manor was worked by the Peshwa Bajirao I himself as the habitation of the Peshwas. In spite of the fact that the Wada presently covers a territory of 625 sections of land, in its prime it secured nearly the whole region of the city itself. The spot never neglects to stun the guest with its different fortresses and wellspring, and the magnificent statue of Baji Rao I that welcomes the guest at the passage of the royal residence. Albeit a large portion of the Wada was crushed by an unexplained flame in 1828, what survives from it is similarly exciting and superb.

It is said that on a full moon night the stronghold is spooky by the apparition of a previous Peshwa ruler Narayanrao as he was killed in the castle by his auntie and uncle – Anandi and Raghunathrao. Be that as it may, there isn’t a sliver of proof to help such cases.
