Pune
 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.
Historically speaking Pune was handed over to the Peshwa family, whose
Maratha power rose to be a major political force. In 1818, Pune was
taken over by the East India Company. 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.
In the Maratha Kingdom, Pune was the centre of power and all the places
around Pune reflect the might and glory of Marathas. Sinhagad, a hilltop
fort, is the epitome of the bravery and cleverness of Maratha warriors.
Raigad Fort was the place closely associated with the life and times of
Shivaji, an icon of Maratha pride. Bhimashankar is a place known as much
for its religious importance as for its natural surroundings. Jejuri has
one of the most important temples in Maharashtra situated on a hilltop.
