Following the rise of the Maratha Empire, the fort became the centre of Indian politics in the 18th century.
The fort itself was largely destroyed in 1828 by a fire, but the surviving structures are now maintained as a tourist attraction.
The Shaniwarwada was originally a seven-storey building and after being attacked by the British Artillery 90 years later, all the top six stories collapsed leaving only the stone base, which was immune to the British artillery. Hence only the stone base of the Shaniwar Wada remains and can be seen today.
In June 1818, the Peshwa, Bajirao II, abdicated his throne to Sir John Malcolm of the British East India Company & went into political exile at Bithoor, near Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh in North India.

Pune is great choose this tour
Published on Dec, 2023
I chose this tour after I took the private Mumbai tour. We drove from Mumbai to Pune and back in the same day. Yeah it’s a drive, but the ac clean car was comfortable and safe. I had more chai in that one day than anyone should drink. I tried Irani chai-amazing. Had the most amazing briyani at a local spot called diamond queen. It was better than eating at a place that everyone has been to and reviewed. We did so much. Cool things- Osho gardens ; St Patrick church; beautiful Gurdwara (please go inside); ghandi museum; India war memorial (why selfie?), we drove through the city streets at night. The sounds, people, lights was mesmerizing. I learned so much about the city, the history, the culture and India. I’m glad that the driver ate with us. (Some don’t) I am blessed; I made a friend on this trip that will always be a part of me and my journey. It’s amazing to find someone who had as much fun as I did; while always looking out for my every comfort and safety. Please chose this or another tour from this tour company.
AMAZING tour!!
Published on Aug, 2022
I can’t speak enough to what a wonderful tour this was. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The communication was on point (and I booked the tour at the last minute the night before) and I already had instructions less than 30 minutes after booking for the next day. Was a little apprehensive that I was going by myself at first but Rahil was the ultimate professional and made me feel very comfortable. He’s very knowledgeable about the history of Pune and tailors the tour to your preference and timing (I had a time constraint). He makes sure you experience the culture and local foods. He’s super accommodating and engaging and I couldn’t recommend this business more. Will definitely book again if/when I find myself back in Pune with my family. Thanks Rahil!!
