Pulsating Pune, luxuriously soaked in history and culture and surrounded by the magnificent Sahayadris, an educational Mecca, a renowned centre for the mystic Osho cult and a reckonable hub of the IT and Automotive industry, wears many hats, with equal aplomb!
With such a rich historical and cultural legacy, there are many significant Pune sightseeing places, to marvel at! These include the famous Aga Khan Palace, Khadakwasla Dam, Singhad Fort, Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum, Shaniwar Wada Palace, Shrimanth Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati ( a Ganesh temple), Chaturshringi Temple,Pataleshwar Caves, Osho International Meditation Resort, The Pune University, Konark Park, Tribal Museum and Shinde Chhatri, among other significant sightseeing places.
Perhaps it would be appropriate to commence with The Agakhan Palace which is a national monument of India’s freedom movement. Following the launch of Quit India movement in 1942, Gandhiji, his wife Kasturba, his secretary Mahadevbhai Desai were interned at the palace from August 9, 1942 to May 6, 1944. Mahadevbhai and Kasturba passed away while in captivity at the Agakhan Palace and their samadhis are located in the campus. Situated near the River Mula, the palace is a simple memorial to Gandhi and his life and was built in 1892 by Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah Agakhan III.
Pataleshwar Caves on Jungli Maharaj Road are 8th century cave temples dedicated to Lord Pataleshwar, God of the Underworld. Believed to have been cut out from a single rock, the place has massive pillars, which are the grandeur of the temple caves. This religious shrine housed in caves, dated to Shiva and the Nandi, dates back to 700-800 AD and has rather grand statues of Nandi, Sita, Ram, Lakshman, Lakshmi, Ganesh and an over-sized shivalingam under its roof.
The lush contemporary 40-acre Osho International Meditation Resort is a tropical oasis where nature and the 21st Century blend seamlessly, both within and without! Its white marble pathways, elegant black buildings, abundant foliage and Olympic-sized swimming pool, create the perfect ambience to imbibe simple active Osho techniques, effortlessly!
A suitable Pune Hotel with adequate conveniences, in your area of choice and budgetary preference, will accommodate you comfortably!
