A flight of 103 stone steps climbs the hill that the Peshwas adopted as their royal temple complex in the eighteenth century. At the top sit four small black-stone temples -- Devdeveshwar, Vishnu, Vitthal, and Kartikeya -- arranged around a paved courtyard, plus a small Peshwa museum in what was once the family residence.
The reason to come is the view. From the summit you see the whole bowl of central Pune laid out below, with the Sahyadris on the horizon. Most locals come at dawn or dusk; the climb takes ten minutes, the view holds for an hour. There is a small entry fee for the museum and free access to the temples.
