Pune Real Picture
Shindyanchi Chhatri also called Shinde Chatri is a beautiful architectural memorial in Wanowrie. It is dedicated to the great soldier, Mahadji Shinde. For twenty years, between 1760 and 1780, he served as the commander-in-chief of the Maratha army under the Peshwas. The entire complex of the memorial also consists of a temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, which was built by Mahadji himself, in the year 1794. He left for the holy abode the same year and in 1965, Madhavrao Sindhia got the entire complex built, along with the samadhi (memorial). The
major attraction of the Shinde Chatri of Poona is its
exquisite architecture, reflecting the style used in Rajasthan, India.
Even years after its construction, the memorial retains its architectural
designs and beauty and seems to be totally unaffected by time. Presently
the Shindyanchi Chhatri of Pune is under the management
of the Sindhia Devasthan Trust of Gwalior. |
