Saras Baug (Pune) | park, garden

India / Maharashtra / Pune Cantonment / Pune
 park, garden

In olden times this used to be a lake, with ganesh temple actually situated on an island in the lake's centre. Hence this ganesh is also called as "talyaatalaa Ganpati)(i.e. Ganapati within a lake). A sunken garden as the first impression states it to be, Sarasbaug was built by Nanasaheb Peshwa, surrounding the Parvati Hill. Now with a Ganapati Temple as the center, the garden now with lush green lawns at one time was a garbage dumping ground for the British.
