1. Shaniwar Wada (The Seat of the Peshwas)

Your walk commences at the grand Delhi Gate of Shaniwar Wada, the iconic 18th-century fortified palace of the Maratha Empire’s Prime Ministers (Peshwas). Walk past its massive teak wood gates lined with steel spikes, explore the foundations of the historic courtrooms, and learn about the rise, fall, and tragic fires that shroud this monument in mystery.

2. Lal Mahal (The Red Palace)

Located just a short walk away, the brilliantly red-hued Lal Mahal is a historic reconstruction of the palace where the legendary Maratha king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, spent his childhood. It is also the famous site of his daring historical encounter against the Mughal general, Shaista Khan.

3. Kasba Ganpati Mandir (The City Deity)

Pay your respects at the Kasba Ganpati Temple, housing the Gramadevata (presiding deity) of Pune. Commissioned in the 1630s by Rajmata Jijau (Shivaji Maharaj's mother), this temple holds a sacred position in local heritage—the first invitation for any traditional wedding or major festival in Pune is still presented here.

4. Tambat Ali & Kumbhar Wada (Artisan Lanes)

Experience living history by interacting with generational communities of master craftsmen:

• Tambat Ali (Coppersmiths’ Alley): Listen to the rhythmic, synchronized clanging of hammers echoing through the lane as artisans manually shape raw copper into gleaming traditional water vessels and artifacts.

• Kumbhar Wada (Potters’ Locality): Walk past rows of drying clay pots and oil lamps (diyas) where local families still work on traditional manual wheels.
