About

Shaniwar Wada is a must-visit for history buffs, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the Maratha Empire. While much of the original palace is in ruins, the massive gates and well-maintained gardens make for a peaceful and educational visit. However, visitors often complain about the lack of basic amenities like toilets, parking issues, and the mandatory online ticketing process which can be frustrating. It is best visited early in the morning or late in the evening.
