PUNE
: A HISTORIC, CULTURAL CITY .........
There is a saying that history and commerce of a city determines
the image and its mould. Pune being the cultural capital of
Maharashtra, much can be attributed to the majestic history
of this place, which has given the country leaders like Shivaji
and Lokmanya Tilak and many social reformers, researchers,
scientists educationists, and players. Pune today, is very
much a modern city, but still retains its quaint old values
and traditions. Pune is located 170 km south of Mumbai. The
charm of this quaint city of Pune is around it in the forts,
the caves and the other adventurous treks around the little
mountains and hillocks! Some of these sights have great relevance
in the history of the Marathas. Located on the confluence
of Mutha and Mula rivers, Pune or the 'Queen of Deccan' is
also known for its educational, research and development institutions.
While it has always been a corporate stopover, Pune has its
mix of potpourri and culture which makes for interesting sight
seeing within the city!
