Mahatma Phule Mandai







A beautiful medley of Gothic features with Indian detailing. It has eight wings signifying eight directions. A vegetable market in periphery of shanavar wada is buzzing with activity through the day. The interiors though currently unkept are charming and a treat for architects &  enthusiasts.







But someone please someone remove that UGLY Digital clock from the Facade!

Who looks after shanivar wada and sinhagadh

Conservation of Shanivar wada is under central government heritage department and Sinhagadh is under maharashtra forest department. The ASI (Archeological Survery Of India) takes care of 37,000 heritage sites across the country. But experts say over 50,000 heritage sites are unprotected and lying neglected.
