Best example of architecture "Shinde Chhatri"

Which is located in Wanawadi in Pune, is a memorial dedicated to the 18th century Maratha military leader Mahadji Shinde who served as the commander-in-chief of the Maratha army under the Peshwas from 1760 to 1780, It is one of the most significant landmarks in the city and is reminiscent of the Maratha rule

The major attraction of the Shinde Chhatri of Pune is its exquisite architecture, reflecting the style used in Rajasthan, The Anglo-Rajasthani style of construction exhibits a fine blending of two different cultures, The architectural grandeur of the building is appreciable with beautiful carvings and the building is the lively specimen of a structure constructed following the Vastu shastra rules, The memorial retains its architectural design and beauty till date

There are photos of the Shinde ancestor on each of the pillars, A temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is also inside the courtroom, The walls are beautifully crafted, There is a peace inside the monument, It's worth a visit if u are visiting Pune.

Everyone knows the Vishram Bagh Palace in Pune, but do you know it's history?

Vishram Bagh Wada is a 200 year old traditional Wada located in Sadashiv Peth, Bajirao Peshwa, the last Peshwa of the Maratha Empire lived in this haveli for about 11 years. The Peshwas preferred to stay in Vishram Baghwada over Shaniwarwada. It is said that the palace once had a beautiful garden and the mansion was named "Mali Vishram"

This palace itself is worth seeing for its historical importance and beauty, The carvings on the wooden doors and windows are simply breathtaking, The fort provides a fascinating glimpse into the lifestyle and traditions of the Peshwas and a glimpse of the city's rich cultural heritage.
