Discover Our Heritage WalksA city shaped by empires, reformers & cultural pioneers Maharashtra, India
Pune stands as one of Maharashtra's most historically significant cities and one of India's premier heritage destinations. In the 18th century, it became the political centre of the Maratha Empire under the Peshwas — a golden era that left monuments still standing today. The iconic Shaniwar Wada, built in 1732, remains a powerful symbol of Maratha legacy and a highlight of every Pune heritage walk.
The city holds a special place in India's freedom movement too. Aga Khan Palace served as a place of internment for Mahatma Gandhi during the Quit India Movement (1942–44), while strategic hill forts like Sinhagad reflect the region's military valor across centuries. For international travellers and history enthusiasts alike, these sites offer an unparalleled cultural tour experience.
Beyond its forts and palaces, Pune's heritage stretches back to ancient landmarks such as Pataleshwar Cave Temple tracing the city's rock-cut architecture to the 8th century. The revered Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple remains a vibrant spiritual and cultural landmark woven into Pune's living heritage. Today, Pune's legacy thrives through its classical music traditions, Marathi literature, festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, and world-class educational institutions — making it one of India's richest cities for cultural tourism.
