"Pune - City of Institutes" Pune by srhussaini

Welcome to the pulsating city of Pune in Maharashtra. Pune boasts of being the bastion of the all-powerful Maratha Empire.

The land forts and the sea forts stand in testimony of the glory of Raja Shivaji till date.

Though the capital city of Maharashtra, Mumbai is attracts larger number of tourists, Pune is a popular tourist destination being the cultural capital of Maharashtra.

Now, Pune has even gained fame as an important commercial and educational centre as well.


Most of the places to see and visit in Pune may not have been very famous, but that should not deter the tourists from visiting them. They have their own qualities that can be experienced only after seeing them. Most of the places to see in Pune are related to the Marathas, who at one point of time controlled much of the north and western India and challenged the might of Mughal Empire as well as that of British.

Aga Khan Palace and the Parvati temple are a few attractions without which a visit to the city would be incomplete.
