Known as Punyanagari in ancient times, Pune is one of the largest cities of India and 'cultural capital' of the Indian state, Maharashtra. It saw some major developments after the independence of India in 1947. When Panshet and Khadakwasla dams broke in 1961, the resulting flood destroyed most of the city's older parts. This facilitated redevelopment of the destroyed areas, by using modern concepts of town planning. By 1966, the economy of Pune made tremendous improvements, especially in manufacturing and construction sectors. Today, this city attracts many tourists from various corners of the world. The budget hotels in Pune provide comfortable accommodations for those who wish to enjoy cost-effective stays while exploring the famous attractions of this city. As it was a centre of power during the times of Maratha Empire, Pune offers many historical attractions that can be visited during a vacation spent in the city.

Shaniwar Wada is one of the popular attractions of Pune. It was built originally by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the legendary Maratha king, as Lal Mahal. The architectural design of this palace is a combination of Maratha and Mughal styles. Dagadusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple is another great attraction of the city, which was founded by a wealthy sweet mart owner, known as Dagadusheth Halwai. After having lost his sons, he created the images of Lord Ganesha and Lord Dattatreya, as suggested by his spiritual guru. Today, this temple is visited by numerous tourists and devotees coming from distant places. Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum, located in the heart of Pune city on the busy Bajirao Road is also an interesting place to visit. It contains several artifacts from the seventeenth and twentieth centuries, collected by Dr. Dinkar G. Kelkar. Among the unique exhibits are a brass scorpion with a secret locking system, food scrubber that is shaped like an elephant, and 'Mastani Mahal' a recreated palace of the legendary dancer, Mastani. Saras Baug, constructed by Nanasaheb Peshwa in the eighteenth century, would be an ideal place to relax for tourists after having a busy day. It is an exquisite garden, set against the backdrop of scenic Parvati Hills, with lush green lawns and elegant fountains. A temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha can also be found in this garden, which was constructed by Madhav Rao Peshwa.

Besides all these wonderful offerings of Pune, there are some attractions that can be easily reached by using Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) bus services. Among them is the well-known Shirgaon Sai Temple, which makes visitors feel as if they are in the holy town of Shirdi.
