Shaniwar Wada is a historical fortification located in the city of Pune, Maharashtra, India. It was built in the early 18th century by the Peshwa dynasty, who were the prime ministers of the Maratha Empire. The fortification was originally intended to serve as the residence of the Peshwas, and it was also used as a center for political and cultural activities.
The fortification is a magnificent example of Maratha architecture, with its massive walls, intricate carvings, and beautiful gardens. The main entrance to the fortification is through the Delhi Darwaza, which is a grand archway that leads to the courtyard. The courtyard is surrounded by a series of buildings, including the Diwan-e-Aam, which was used for public audiences, and the Diwan-e-Khas, which was used for private audiences.
One of the most interesting features of Shaniwar Wada is the Ganesh Mahal, which is a beautiful palace that was built for the Peshwa's mother. The palace is decorated with intricate carvings and beautiful paintings, and it is said to have been one of the most luxurious buildings of its time.
Another interesting feature of Shaniwar Wada is the Nagarkhana, which is a tower that was used to announce the time of day. The tower is located at the top of the fortification, and it was used to play music and announce the arrival of important guests.
Today, Shaniwar Wada is a popular tourist attraction, and it is visited by thousands of people every year. The fortification is a testament to the rich history and culture of Pune, and it is a must-visit destination for anyone who is interested in Indian history and architecture.
