History

The site of present-day Pune was home to an agricultural community known as Punnaka by the ninth century, according to copper plates dated 858 and 868 CE. The Rashtrakuta dynasty dominated this territory, according to the plates. During this time, the Pataleshwar rock-cut temple complex was constructed. From the ninth century until 1327, Pune was a part of the Devagiri region under the Seuna Yadavas. Up till the late 1600s, a number of Muslim sultanates ruled Pune.

Shahu I, the fifth Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire, named Baji Rao I Peshwa of the Maratha Empire in 1720. In 1728, Bajirao, then known as the Peshwa, relocated his headquarters from Saswad to Pune, initiating the process of converting the kasbah into a city.

Additionally, he gave the go light to build the Shaniwar Wada on the elevated terrain of the Mutha River’s right bank. After the construction was finished in 1730, the Peshwa dynasty took control of the city. In order to supply water to Shaniwar Wada and the city, Bajirao’s son and heir Nanasaheb built an underground aqueduct and a lake at Katraj, outside of the city.
