Raste Wada is located in Pune. Raste Wada is regarded
to be one of the largest wadas, which stands surrounded by a jungle of
multi storeyed buildings. During the reign of Madhavrao Peshwa, Anandrao
Bhikaji Raste built the massive core of the Wada. In building the Wada,
Rs.9 lakh had been spent. There is also a stable to house Raste's
cavalry retinue.
At present these cloisters have been either ravaged by time or late out
to tenants. The 'Diwankhana' has a municipal school now. It was once a
separate building. Sealed-up fountains, and covered chandeliers stand as
steeled voices from the past.
Pune is well connected by air, rail and road with the important places
within and beyond the state. For local transportation taxis, city buses
and auto rickshaws are available.
Raste Wada, located in Pune, is one of the largest remaining wadas.
