Mastani Lake
Mastani Lake, also known as Mastani Talab or Wadki Talab, is a freshwater lake near Wadki village in Pune, Maharashtra. It was built around 1720 by Peshwa Bajirao and completed during the reign of Peshwa Nanasaheb after Bajirao's death. The lake is historically associated with the love story of Bajirao and his second wife Mastani, who frequently visited the spot and used it as Mastani Bai's bathing place.
The lake spans about 14 acres and is nestled amidst green hills, making it a scenic spot popular for picnics and camping. There are two temples near the lake, adding to its cultural charm. A local legend mentions a tunnel connecting the lake to Shaniwar Wada, Bajirao's residence, though it is now blocked.
The lake has been revived and maintained as a water source for nearby villages and as a tourist attraction showcasing natural beauty and history. It is especially beautiful during the monsoon and winter seasons when the surroundings turn lush green and the water levels are high. Entry to Mastani Lake is free, and it remains open throughout the day for visitors.
