That is an incredible piece of history that I read in a single breath.
Thank you for sharing this amazing background about a place that is now not even visible to the public.
And as they say - out of sight, out of mind, it is sad to see that people are fast forgetting and neglecting this important phase of Pune.
It is shocking to see that plaque of this important place is encroached by street vendors.
I will definitely pay a visit to this place shortly.
