Aga Khan Palace
आगा खान पैलेस
Aga Khan Palace in Pune, India, is a historical landmark renowned for its architectural beauty and significant role in India's freedom struggle. Built in 1892 by Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III, the palace was intended as a source of employment for the famine-stricken population of the region. It is an exquisite example of Indo-Saracenic architecture, featuring sprawling lawns and Italian arches. The palace gained prominence during the Indian independence movement when Mahatma Gandhi, his wife Kasturba Gandhi, and his secretary Mahadev Desai were imprisoned there by the British following the Quit India Movement of 1942. Today, Aga Khan Palace is a memorial to Gandhi, housing a museum with personal relics and photographs of Gandhi and his associates. It is also the location of the Samadhi (memorial) of Kasturba Gandhi and Mahadev Desai.
