This monument was built as a tribute to the great Maratha nobleman Mahadji Shinde who was the Commander-in-chief of the Maratha Army under the Peshwas. It is about 4kms away from Pune camp. The carving and beauty of the temple is worth a look. Among the architectural sights the memorial to the Great Mahadji Shinde is noteworthy. You can see the warrior’s painted likeness in silver, swathed in a flame coloured turban and an elaborately worked shawl. At his feet are his original puja vessels, used to propitiate his family deity each morning. A painted sign requests you not to open an umbrella within the Chhatri’s precincts as it would be insulting to the great warrior’s memory.
