Nothing much to see really. Only ground floor was open. Building is restored well and looks beautiful. It has paintings with information about Shivaji Maharaj's childhood and rise. It was crowded and better to visit early morning if you want to get a good picture without people in it.

One of the famous places to visit while exploring Pune City which is a historical representation of the freedom struggle of the Maratha empire. This is the place where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj chopped off Shaista Khan’s fingers with his sword.

On the main entrance there is a beautiful sculptural depiction of young Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Rajmata Jijau. The place is decorated with very interesting wooden work, lavish chandeliers and other interesting things.

Very nicey maintained, an old place where Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his mother's story of their time of ploughing the field with gold plough is of significance. Do visit. The old house looks beautiful from the inside, though the visit to the upper floors is restricted.

The Lal Mahal, near Shanivarwada of Pune is one of the most famous monuments located in Pune, Maharashtra.

It will take a maximum of 15-20 min to explore the full place. It can be break/ rest stop if you are in street shopping near Laxmi road 😃. Thanks 🙏

The place is well kept.. Depicting a historical significance enhances it's importance.. Everyone should visit places with historical know how.. Getting to know our great leader Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj makes its quite interesting..

पुणे के लाल महल (लाल पैलेस) पुणे, भारत में स्थित सबसे प्रसिद्ध स्मारकों में से एक है। वर्ष 1630 ईस्वी , शिवाजी के पिता शाहजी भोसले में अपनी पत्नी जीजाराणी और बेटे के लिए लाल महल की स्थापना की। वह अपनी पहली किले पर कब्जा कर लिया जब तक शिवाजी कई वर्षों के लिए यहां रुके थे।मूल लाल महल खंडहर में गिर गई और वर्तमान लाल महल मूल के पुनर्निर्माण है और पुणे शहर के केंद्र में स्थित है। अपनी पहली पत्नी के साथ शिवाजी महाराज की शादी , महारानी Saibai लाल महल में जगह ले ली। In the year 1630 AD, Shivaji's Father Shahaji Raje Bhosale, established the Lal Mahal for his wife Jijabai and son. Shivaji stayed here for several years until he captured his first fort. The current Lal Mahal is a reconstruction of the original and located in the center of the Pune city. The original Lal Mahal was built with the idea of rejuvenating the recently razed city of Pune when Shahaji entered the city along with Shivaji and his mother, Jijabai. Shivaji grew up here, and stayed in the Lal Mahal till he captured the Torna fort in 1645. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's marriage with his first wife, Saibai took place in Lal Mahal on 16 May 1640.[2][3] The Lal Mahal is also famous for an encounter between Shivaji and Shaista Khan where Shivaji cut off the latter's fingers when he was trying to escape from the window of the Lal Mahal.[4] This was part of a surreptitious guerrilla attack on the massive and entrenched Mughal Army that had camped in Pune, with Shaista occupying (possibly symbolically) Shivaji Maharaj's childhood home. As a punishment for the ignominy of the defeat despite superior numbers and better armed and fed soldiers, Shaista was transferred by the Mughal Emperor to Bengal. Towards the end of the 17th Century, the Lal Mahal was ruined by some people and was eventually razed to the ground as a result of various attacks on the city.[5] It is said that during the construction of the Shaniwarwada, some soil and stones of the Lal Mahal were used for luck. In 1734-35, a few houses were constructed on the land of the Lal Mahal and given for use to Ranoji Shinde and Ramchandraji. The records in the offices of the Peshwas mention that Lal Mahal was used for arranging feasts for the Brahmins during the thread-ceremony of Sadoba, son of Chimaji Appa. The exact original location of the Lal Mahal is unknown, however it was known to be very close to the location of Shaniwarwada, which is roughly where the current reconstruction stands.

Step into history at the reconstructed residence of the 17th-century warrior, Shivaji Maharaj. This historic building, now rebuilt, houses a museum showcasing the life of young Shivaji. A captivating journey into the past, offering insights into the legendary warrior's early years.

Clean and well maintained place. Parking is not available over here. It is a home where shivaji spent his childhood. Its not a big place like palace. A history about shivaji and his mom will be seen here!

Located close to Shaniwar Wada, Lal Mahal is Pune’s historical landmark. Dating its existence back to the 16th century. The building is in good condition and is well maintained. The Mahal doors remain open for the visitors from morning 09:00 am and close down by 01:00 pm for lunch. Again, at 04:00 pm, the doors are opened, which shut by 08:00 pm. MUST VISIT ONCE!

Lal Mahal, as the name suggests, is a red brick building located at Pune. It is an important historical building as it was built by Dadaji Konddev in 1640, two years after he had ownership of Pune city from the Adilshahi Sultans. Konddev brought Shivaji and his wife up there, and then built this palace.It was the childhood home of Shivaji as he spent many years there. The statue of Jijamata (Shivaji’s mother) is placed inside the palace. There is another structure of young Shivaji with a golden plow looked after by his with mother Jijabai and Guru Dadoji Konddev. Four umbrellas on the terrace are the main attraction of the Mahal. This is the place where Shivaji Maharaj cut Shaistekhan’s fingers when he was trying to escape from the windows of the Lal Mahal.

Most beautiful historical place... Really nice tourist spot ✌️✨✨

Lal Mahal is one of the famous tourist places in Pune which has another name as Red Palace. It is a beautiful monument established in 1630 AD by Shivaji Maharaj’s father Shahaji Bhosale for his wife and son. Shivaji Maharaj lived here for a long time until the time he captured his first fort. The original one had undergone several destructions and the current one is a reconstructed structure, located at the heart of the city. Shivaji’s wedding with Maharani Saibai took place in this palace. The original monument was constructed with the aim of rejuvenating the city of Pune when Dadoji Kondev entered the city with Shivaji Maharaj. The history recorded at various places proves the fact that Lal Mahal was used for organising feasts for the Brahmins during the thread ceremony of Sadoba, the son of Chimajiappa. The original location where the monument was first established is still unknown, perhaps it was known to be located very close to the location of Shaniwarwada. The newly constructed Lal Mahal does not have many features the old one possessed and it is not built in the same fashion as well. Pune Municipal Corporation was the one who rebuilt the current Lal Mahal and the construction was begun in 1984 and ended in 1988. The Lal Mahal became an important part of the history after an encounter between Shivaji and Shaista Khan when the former cut off the latter’s fingers and he tried to escape from the window of the Lal Mahal. The current palace displays a collection of large sized oil paintings based on the important events happened in the life of Shivaji. There is the Jijamata Garden now recognised as a recreational park for kids. Entry timings: It is open on all days from 09:00 am to 01:00 pm and then from 04:00 pm to 08:00 pm. Entry fee: The entry fee to enter the palace is INR 3 per person.

Be careful about timings. 9am to 1pm and 4.30 to 6pm. There is almost nothing to see except 3-4 statues. Museum is under renovation. So no point in visiting. Adding photos which I clicked there.

Temporarily closed by lal mahal

Located close to Shaniwar Wada, Lal Mahal is Pune’s historical landmark. Dating its existence back to the 16th century, Lal Mahal acknowledges the valor of leaders and rulers of Shivaji’s era. It is a symbolic representation that elucidates the heroic acts that the Peshwas were known for. Not only does it account for the excellence of battles and acquisitions, but it also contributed a lot to Shivaji’s childhood. Today, the Lal Mahal stands as one of the major tourist attractions worth adding to your Pune bucket list. Lal signifies ‘Red’ whereas mahal denotes ‘palace.’ This is how the monument derived its identity. The entire palace is an architectural brilliance. The walls built from the red bricks feature the progressive stage of Shivaji’s life journey.

A redone up structure mostly based on the original home of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. As a child I have played in the Jijamata udyan in the precincts of the old dilapidated Lal Mahal which was somewhat different.

When you come from Shaniwar wada , you may visit this place. It has been refurbished and we'll maintain it . Recommended

Although this place is small, it's genuinely beautiful and stunning! The cleanliness is well-maintained, and the pictures of Shivaji Maharaj are absolutely captivating. However, as usual, the staff can be a little rude. I highly recommend visiting this place, you won't be disappointed.

A Regal Marvel in Pune - Lal Mahal Nestled in the heart of Pune, Lal Mahal stands as a timeless testament to the city's rich history and architectural splendor. As a tourist, my visit to this iconic landmark was nothing short of enchanting, leaving me captivated by its regal charm and historical significance. The vibrant red facade of Lal Mahal, translated as the "Red Palace," immediately commands attention against the city's backdrop. Constructed in 1630 by the great Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the palace serves as a poignant reminder of his valiant life and deeds. Stepping inside, the interiors exude an air of grandeur, adorned with intricately carved wooden panels and exquisite paintings that narrate the tales of Shivaji's adventures. One cannot help but be enthralled by the peaceful ambiance that permeates the palace grounds. The well-maintained gardens and courtyards provide a serene escape from the bustling city life, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the historical aura that envelops Lal Mahal. A highlight of my visit was the informative guided tour, where the knowledgeable guides regaled us with tales of Shivaji's exploits and the significance of each section within the palace. The adjoining museum further enriched my understanding of the Maratha Empire and its glorious past. Lal Mahal is not just a monument; it's a living chronicle that transports visitors back in time.

A must-visit destination for anyone seeking to explore the historical tapestry of India.

Lal Mahal is always Amazing.. Visiting their is like you get into that historical world and you so touched where 'Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj' The real King has lived their childhood over there, that feeling is very different and so grateful 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Good historic place. Children's must know the history for the जाणता राजा

Lal Mahal, deriving its name from its appearance means the Red Palace sits in the busy area of Pune, close to another iconic attraction - Shaniwarwada. Built with red-bricks and maroon hues, this place is where the valiant Shivaji Chatrapati Maharaj was born and bred. Today, the monument we see is a reconstruction from 1988 since the original Mahal was torn down in an attack.

It's good place, but still under maintenance. So only ground floor open. Can be over under 30min. Missed to find exact location of Shaista khan attack

Original Lal mahal was at this location, now what is standing is the replica constructed by Pune corporation. Nevertheless Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had spent their childhood in this soil and it's a privilege to visit such historical place.

Great Place. Nice architecture.

Nostalgic feeling when entered at Lal Mahal. History of Ch. Shivaji Maharaj cutting the fingers of Shaista Khan came back rushing in head. A goosebumps experience. Only ground floor was open. Statue of Jijama, Bal Shivba and Jijama farming and lots of other statues of Mavla. This is the place where Jijama gave lessons of Ramayana, Mahabharat and war training to Shivba. A must visit monument of Pune tour.

Lal Mahal located near Shaniwar Wada in Pune is a historic landmark of the 16th century. Subject to innumerable attacks and initial revival, the palace has significant stories to tell. It was first restored by Shivaji Maharaj's father Shahaji Bhosle for his family to stay in the 1630s. From being a childhood home for Chhatrapati Shivaji to taking Shaistekhan head-on, this red coloured structure is an architectural marvel depicting craftsmanship and culture of that time.

Most beautiful historical landmark in pune city..

Nothing much to see. The interior is beautiful though. A few paintings which portrays the story of Shivaji's childhood are there inside. Only the ground floor is open. Looks nice from outside. It's opposite of Shaniwar wara. So you can just give a quick visit to Lal Mahal from there(20 min will be enough to see everything) Visited on weekend (9.30 am),was not crowded.

Lal Mahal was one of the greatest place. This is the place where Great King Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj spent his childhood, and learnt all things, education, politics, war techniques, and all other things. He was taught by his Mother Rajmata Jijau. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj reestablished the Pune city and ploughed the land with the Golden Plough. After that people came to live in Pune. Shivray cut fingures of Sahistakhan. Actual Lalmahal was bigger in size. Because on watching this Lal Mahal no one believe that this is the Lal Mahal where Chhatrapati Maharaj. Because this Lalmahal is very small. And we can think that if this is a real Lal Mahal of Chhatrapti Shivaji Maharaj then how could Shivray and his huge families such a small building. Actually the Lal Mahal was bigger in size. After visiting the Lal Mahal everyone thinks about its reality. If this is a Lal Mahal......... where are the rooms of other Members and other rooms. And the construction was not as old in 16th century I.e. it's new construction. So, I can't belive that it was a real Lal Mahal of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj... . .......... The real Lal Mahal and the real history of LalMahal must revail in front of the people. .... Thanks......

Lal Mahal is historical place, where Shivaji maharaj cuts the fingers of Shaistekhan. Beautiful place, now a days there is exhibition of paintings of shiv charitra and model of shivneri fort. Second floor of this mahal is closed, do we can't see the place where Shivaji maharaj cuts the fingers of Shaistekhan. You can not take photographs in lal mahal and outside because of security reasons told by police.

Very calm and clean place. Next to Shanivar wada fort. Incidents from Shivaji maharaj's life are described through paint. A small representation of Raigarh fort and other places are made. But the presentation could be improved.

Nice place with historical importance.Fight between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Shaista Khan happened here.

This is a historical place, Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj has spent their childhood here. The place is more known for the surgical strike made by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on the Mughal General Shahiste Khan. The place has only one floor available for the general public. The place has no entry fees.

Historical place and thanks for maintaining it!! This is a place where Shahiste khan had to loose his fingers as he was squatting this place. It was chopped off by Shivaji maharaj and the fear made Shahiste khan never return. Also it is said to be a place where Maharaj spent his childhood and was seeking education. He apparently trained in statesmenship, economics, war tactics and such skills under veterans. First floor is blocked and not allowed to visitors. Washrooms are available and maintained to certain extent. Cleaning is a continuous task one can witness here. Pardon me as taking photos were not allowed inside the mahal.

Must visit this place. This is historical place and well managed and cleaned. There are more historical places near the Lal Mahal. Reconnecting the memories of history.

1 word - Stunning! Lal Mahal looks gorgeous, even better than the images in real life. The interior decoration, lighting, theme & overall feel of the building takes you back to Cjhatrapati Shivaji's era, from childhood till his greatest conquests. Paintings depicting his life events are detailed followed by the statue of Rajmata which appears as if she's alive! The only thing that's disappointing is the lack of access to the upper floors for public (could be due to renovation) but I do guarantee that you'll love the premise. Facilities - Toilet, Drinking Water, Security Guard/Cameras. Entry - Free Location - Next to Shanivar Wada (Easily walkable distance) Please enter only after opening your shoes/footwear and don't make any noise. The place is best enjoyed in it's Silence.

This is a modern day reconstruction of the original Lal Mahal, although if it is as accurate as the original is unknown. The original Lal Mahal was constructed by Shahaji Raje Bhonsale for his wife Jijabai and Son Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje Bhonsale when Shahaji Raje gave the responsibility to maintain the Pune Jahagir to his Son. Shivaji Maharaj spent most of his childhood here till he captured his first fort at the age of Sixteen. Later on in his life, the Lal Mahal witnessed the now famous encounter of Shivaji Maharaj in which Shivaji Raje cut off the fingers of Shaista Khan and made him flee for his life. However, in the later years, for some reason or another the original Lal Mahal was razed to the ground by enemy attacks. The stones of Lal Mahal were used to lay foundation of Shaniwar Wada which was constructed very close to it for good luck. The current reconstructed Lal Mahal was made by the PMC in the 80s and now houses various monuments and paintings from the life of Shivaji Maharaj. It is a must visit place. However, since it's in the heart of the city, there's the problem of parking. But besides that, it's a nice place to visit.

This place holds a historic significance. It is well maintained. You should definitely check this place.

Not very vell maintained, you'll be able to spend 30 mins here, looking around and clicking pictures. Nothing seems to be related to history, good place to chill tho. And no entry fees will be charged here. Currently under maintenance, so entry is restricted to the other floors.

If you have intrest in history then u should visit this place. But not much to see apart from historical background and style of architecture. Only ground floor is open to visitors. Above floors are closed for visiting.

Good place to visit and bring your child here to know about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and their stories. Very well maintained

Loved lal Mahal. Near you can find street food and market you can also fine local tattoo artist which amazed me ☺️😉

Very pleasant place, holding place of royal mother Jijabai mother of Shivaji.

One the most important landmark in the history of India. It's mostly renovated and very less is remained of original structure was, but whole campus is well maintained even better than ShaniwarWada. And surprisingly entry is free. There are beautiful & informative painting of Shivaji Maharaj depicting his and Jija Mata's life adventures at Mahal. Top floors are not accessible to Norma public. And better not to take photos inside the building to show some respect.

Well maintained monument. I went there in hopes of getting some pictures but apparently photos from mobile phone is allowed but ones from DSLR isn't. Someone tell me what's the rationale behind this stupid rule. 😐

It was beautiful, located just a few steps ahead of Shaniwarwada. The construction is awesome, and the toppings on the cake were, they have done a marvelous job of maintaining the structure.
