Mahadaji Shinde Chatri is a striking memorial located in the Wanowrie area of Pune, India. Built in the 18th century, it commemorates Mahadaji Shinde, a prominent Maratha ruler and commander who played a key role in the restoration of the Maratha Empire after the Third Battle of Panipat. The structure is a fine example of Maratha architecture, blending Hindu and Mughal styles with ornate carvings, domes, and a central spire. The chatri (cenotaph) is set within a well-maintained garden, offering a peaceful environment for reflection.
