A major landmark in Pune. The lake in Sarasbaug was built by Peshwa Bajirao II. There's a Ganesha temple in Sarasbaug known as Talyatla Ganapati Temple (तळ्यातला गणपती मंदिर).
Sarasbaug is a major landmark in the city of Pune in India. The place where the park now stands was once occupied by a small artificial lake. However, the lake slowly dried up and was later developed into Sarasbaug by the PMC in the 60s. The whole 25-acre (10 ha) complex is known as Sarasbaug. The Ganesh temple in Saras Baug is also known as Talyatla Ganapati which translates to 'the Ganapati of the lake'.

The museum is housed in a Rajasthani style building situated close to the hustle and bustle of the busy Bajirao Road. The artifacts in the museum were once part of a personal collection. It is now open to the public and houses over 20,000 objects of which roughly 2,500 are displayed. There are 36 sections to the museum and the objects within range from carved palace and temple doors, 2,000-year-old pottery, traditional Indian lamps, and 17th century paintings.
The remains of this palace stand in the heart of the old city. It was built during the 18th century by a descendant of Bajirao Peshwa. It is well known for its elaborate wooden façade.
This Ganesha temple is visited by over a hundred thousand pilgrims every year. Devotees of the temple include celebrities and chief ministers of Maharashtra who visit during the annual ten-day Ganeshotsav festival. The temple is a beautiful construction and boasts a rich history of over 100 years. Jay and Vijay, the two sentinels made of marble catch the eye of all at the outset. The construction is so simple that all the proceedings in the temple along with the beautiful Ganesha idol can be seen even from outside.
