Very well compiled information about Pune city. I am living in Pune for more than 50 years and am not knowledgeable about Muzaffarjung and Nrusinhapura areas in the city. Can you enlighten me about their locations and history?
Of particular interest is Nrusinhapura as we have an ancestorial deity of Lord Nrusinha or Narsimha in our house which dates back to Peshwa era. It was originally housed in our wada which was located in Budhwar peth.

Enjoyed reading the article on Pune. It brought me the memories of visiting some of these sites with my dear friend Shashi Thakur who lives there. Among the listing of various Peths there is one name that stood out for me. Muzaffarjung 1759, among all other names being Hindu. How was this named? Any history or reference to this effect? I believe he was the ruler of Hydarabad. Why would Maratha have a Peth named after him in Pune?

In reply to Gordon Brown. Gordon, I lived in Pune in 1995 in an area called Narayan Peth and have very fond memories of that time. Next time I am in Pune, I will try and visit Tulasi Baug and explore it more intimately. The temples there are intriguing, even in their architecture.

In 1992 I design a new car for Tata Motors called Tata Safari. Being in Pune for one year changed my life for good. I found my teacher Gurumayi Chidvilasananda leader of Siddha Yoga Foundation. The point I’d like to make was each week at sunrise followers would meet in a little building in Tulasi Baug market to sing bhajans. How glorious, amazing and beautiful that time was.
