Saras Baug
By Sham Rathi ·
Sarasbaug is the most famous garden in Pune. Children like it the most. When Parvati was under construction the Peshwas used to come here to ensure proper working of the Parvati construction. There is small lake near it which drew the Peshwas attention, and he ordered to dug up the 25 acers land and made a pond and let the lake water in it. He kept a island in the center and built a garden on it. There is a Bird called 'Saras', the garden is hence named Sarasbaug.
Sarasbaug is just next to the swargate bus station. If you want to visit this place you have plenty of buses to go there or even auto can be hired. It is just 3 kms from the Pune station.
