About:

Shaniwarwada was built by the Peshwa Bajirao I for the residence of the Peshwas in Pune. And is one of the most popular tourist destinations. It is spread across an area of 625 acres, and best place to know about the India’s history. This place attracts large number of tourists because of its magnificent forts and fountain, and the majestic statue of Baji Rao I that greets the visitor at the entrance of the palace. However, such was the fate of this magnificent complex that it is now the most haunted places of Pune. The palace which was constructed with great enthusiasm and excitement to witness laudable tales of the Peshwas sadly saw nothing other than deceit, ill fate and torment. In the very first year of its completion, the palace saw an untimely death of Peshwa Bajirao I, his disloyalty to his first wife Kashi, and the unfinished love story of Bajirao-Mastani. Once reputed for its marvellous architecture, the palace is now dreaded for its paranormal activities. This and much more has made the site a must-visit place. So, be sure to include it in your itinerary when you next visit Pune.
