A fortified 18th-century Maratha palace complex in central Pune, known for its massive gateway and evening light-and-sound show.
Once the seat of the Peshwa rulers, Shaniwar Wada is now a walled garden of ruined foundations, fountains and the iconic Delhi Darwaza gate. The contrast between the surviving stone ramparts and open lawns inside gives photographers both grand entrance shots and quieter garden frames.
