Narayaneshwar Mahadev Mandir and Puneshwar were two temples in Pune demolished under the rule of the Delhi Sultanate led by Nizamuddin and other religious preachers. Two of these preachers were later buried there. The dargah built over the Narayaneshwar temple is now the 'Thorla (Senior) Sheikh Salla dargah' and is located on the bank of the Mutha River, not far from the Shaniwar Wada.

The palace where Shivaji spent his childhood.
This palace was built by the successors of Shivaji, the Peshwas in 1736. A massive fire destroyed the building in 1827. Most of the palace interiors were destroyed and all that remains is the old fortified wall. The brass studded gates and lotus pools have also withstood the ravages of time. This palace is situated in the heart of the city next to Deccan Gymkhana, Shivajinagar, and Laxmi Road. There is a 'Light & Sound Show' in three languages (Marathi, Hindi and English) every evening at the wada. It details the history of the Maratha empire and the significance of the role the Shaniwar played.
