Pune

September 19th, 2015 by Abhijit Chakraborty

Pune is nothing short of a travellers’ paradise. Strangely, many people are unaware of the great variety of attractions that this city boasts of.

The beautiful green hills and the pristine lakes around the city provide a stark contrast to the modern and fast-paced main city which is fast emerging as one of the top business destinations in India.

The Pataleshwar Cave Temple, carved out of a rock, provides a glimpse into the 8th century architectural style followed in this region.

The Shaniwar Wada was the seat of the Peshwas until the early 19th century, and even though the rulers are long gone, the fort still stands majestically.

Puneris, as the people of Pune are called, are simple people who relish every moment as it comes, but they also know how to celebrate the bigger moments, and they do so in style.

Our fellow traveller Mausam Agarwal went about exploring the hidden gems of this place, and captured some breathtaking shots in this amazing video.
