SHANIWAR WADA
Shaniwar Wada is a palace fort situated near the Mula-Mutha River in Kasba Peth, Pune, Maharashtra. It was the royal residence and ruling office of the Peshwas in 18th and 19th Century. The structure was constructed by Peshwa Baji Rao I, the Prime minister to the fourth Maratha Chhatrapati Shahu. Shaniwar Wada is a confluence of Maratha craftsmanship and Mughal architecture. The Palace was largely destroyed in a big fire in 1828; only the heavy granite ramparts, strong teak gateways and deep foundations and ruins of the building within the fort survived.
Interesting Fact
Shaniwar Wada is known to be one of the most haunted places in India. It is said that full moon nights are very much haunted in Shaniwar Wada. There is a story behind this, according to legend this fort palace is haunted by the ghost of 14 year old Narayan Rao Peshwa. Narayan Rao Peshwa was cruelly assassinated by one of his relatives. His assassins chased him, all across the palace, the 14 year old boy ran to Raghunath Rao, his uncle, crying “Kaka mala vachva” (English Translation : “Uncle saves me”). But his cry remained unheard and little Narayan Rao was killed mercilessly. Even today locals claimed that they hear his cries for help at midnight on every new moon night.COSMETIC AND BEAUTY SUPPLY STORES

Still worshiped by devotees, the Shiv Lingam is anointed with Ghee and Dahi. A brass temple bell hangs outside the basalt entryway of the cave temple adds to its beauty.
The temple also houses the statues of Lord Rama, Laxmana, and Devi Sita carved with white stones.
The temple resembles the Ellora and Elephanta Caves in its architectural style and it has been declared to be of National Importance under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological sites and remains act 1958 (Act Number 24 of 1958).
