Sarasbaug, Public park in Pune, India
Sarasbaug is a park in Pune with a lake, gardens, and a central island connected by bridges. Paved walkways link different sections, creating distinct areas with varied plantings and open spaces throughout the grounds.
The park began in the mid-1700s as an artificial lake built by Peshwa rulers as a recreational space. A temple was later built on the island, transforming the site into a place of worship and leisure combined.
The park holds a temple where people come to worship and pay their respects. Visitors walk through the grounds as a place of both spiritual practice and everyday gathering.
The park is open during daylight hours and has multiple entrances with parking available nearby. The paved paths are accessible throughout and connect all areas easily.
The grounds feature diverse local plant varieties planted in gardens across the island and lakeside areas. These green pockets often go unnoticed by visitors focused only on the main pathways and temple.
