Saras Baug
सारसबाग
A Peshwa-era garden at the foot of Parvati Hill; the Ganesha temple on a lake island draws many worshippers, and it is a favorite evening stroll for local families.
The garden was once an artificial lake from the Peshwa era. A small island in the lake holds the Taliyatra Ganpati Temple. Although the water has been replaced by lawns, the temple remains an important place of worship in the city. The garden is shaded by trees, and many snack stalls line the entrance. Crowds are heavy in the evenings and on weekends. Admission is free, and it can be combined with a visit to Parvati Hill.
