Shinde Chhatri
शिंदे छत्री
A memorial pavilion to Mahadji Shinde, an 18th-century Maratha commander, blending Rajput and English styles, with colored glass and fine carvings.
Mahadji Shinde was the commander of the Shinde family of Gwalior, and at one point he controlled the Mughal court in Delhi. He died in Pune in 1794. The memorial pavilion was expanded by his descendants around 1965 and is a three-story building with marble carvings, portraits and colored glass windows. A Shiva temple stands beside it. Located in Wanowrie, the site charges a low admission fee and is usually quiet.
