Lal Mahal, Royal palace in Kasba Peth, Pune, India
The two-story building features traditional Maratha architectural elements with stone walls painted in characteristic red color throughout its exterior surfaces.
Shahaji Bhosle built this palace in 1630 for his wife Jijabai and their son Shivaji, who spent his childhood years within these walls.
The palace displays large oil paintings depicting significant events from Shivaji's life, including scenes with his mother Jijabai teaching him leadership principles.
The palace opens daily from 9 AM to 6 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages explaining the historical importance of each chamber.
During a night raid in 1663, Shivaji Maharaj confronted Shaista Khan in this palace, resulting in the Mughal commander losing several fingers.
