Another zoo in Nagpur, in the city centre. It is home to leopards, lions, tigers, peacocks and other animals.
Maharajbagh Zoo is the central zoo of Nagpur, India. The zoo is located in the heart of the city and has been built on the garden of the Bhonsle and Maratha rulers of the city. The zoo comes under the Central Zoo Authority (CZA) of India and is maintained by the Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth (PKV) of Nagpur. The zoo had come under scrutiny in 2006 for possible closure due to issues concerning animal healthcare but was cleared of all objections raised by CZA in 2007. The Government of Maharashtra has approved a new safari park of international standards next to Gorewada Lake in the city. Animals from Maharajbagh zoo would be moved to this new animal park but the older zoo will remain open for new animals.

विधान भवन Vidhān Bhavan
The seat of the winter sessions of the Maharashtra Legislature. It was built in 1912 to house the government of the Central Provinces of Berar, as Nagpur was its capital. The province was later incorporated into Madhya Pradesh in 1952 after India's independence, and Nagpur remained the capital of the Indian state. However, the Vidarbha region of Madhya Pradesh was later incorporated into Maharashtra in 1960, and Nagpur became the winter capital of the then-new state under the Nagpur Pact to protect the interests and equal development of Vidarbha.
