A
Shaniwar Wada
The ruins of this fortress-like palace are located in the old part of the city of Pune. Built in 1732, the palace of the Peshwa rulers burnt down in 1828, but the massive walls and plinths remain, as do the sturdy palace doors with their daunting spikes. In the evenings there is an hour-long sound-and-light show.

Pataleshvara Cave Temple
The curious rock-cut Pataleshvara Cave Temple is a small and unfinished (though active) 8th-century temple, similar in style to the grander caves at Elephanta Island off the Mumbai coast. Adjacent is the Jangali Maharaj Temple, dedicated to a Hindu ascetic who died here in 1818.

Tribal Cultural Museum
This obscure but excellent museum showcases an excellent collection of tribal jewellery sourced from remote parts of India. The section featuring ornate papier-mâché festival masks was being renovated during research, but was due to re-open soon.
