Balaji Vishwanath Peshwa and Saswad
I recently paid a visit to Saswad, located about a one and a half hours drive from Pune.
Even with such a close proximity to Pune and inspite of a few buildings with modern architecture,Saswad retains the looks of a quaint village.
It was the 300th death anniversary of Balaji Vishanath Peshwa. His samadhi lies on the banks of the Karha river.
His statue was inaugurated on this day the 16th of April 2013.
Balaji Vishwanath Peshwa made Saswad his home and also his eternal resting place.
A more detailed history of Saswad is in the offing soon on this blog.
