One of the most famous temple in Pune. It has its own history. We went on a new year day to start an year with Ganesha"s blessings . It was super crowded and to take tat kal tickets also , there was que. After taking the ticket, once we get inside the line It will just take 5 mins to take darshan. You will get that divine feeling and vibration when you go and stand infont of the Idol. That experience is enough that then understood why this temple was that much famous.

The Indian government's courtesy to foreigners is a shocking education as can be seen from the huge difference in ticket prices!
This palace is a great blessing for the stay-at-home geeks. Gandhi was very lucky to be able to live in this palace during the Second World War when Britain was busy with World War II. Was Gandhi placed under house arrest when he was invited to live in this palace? It is better to say that he took good care of his wife. Although his wife died here, she was protected in a very comfortable environment! How about thinking in reverse? It is also positive energy.

Sinhagad Fort is built atop a cliff on the Bhuleshwar range of the Sahyadris. Literally translating to "Fort of the Lion", Sinhagad Fort boasts of a rich history. It was initially occupied by the Mughals until it came to be possessed by the Marathas.
