The Aga Khan Palace was built by Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan III in the city of Pune, India.
The palace was an act of charity by the spiritual leader of the Nizari Ismaili Muslims, who wanted to help the poor in the neighbouring areas of Pune, who were drastically hit by famine by offering them work.[1][2] The construction lasted 5 years and involved hundred thousand people. It costed 1.2 million rupees.[3]
The Aga Khan Palace is a majestic building.[4] The palace is closely linked to the Indian freedom movement as it served as a prison for Mahatma Gandhi, his wife Kasturba Gandhi, his secretary Mahadev Desai. Sarojini Naidu and several others were also imprisoned during the Quit India Movement that demanded an end to British rule in India.[3] It is also the place where Kasturba Gandhi and Mahadev Desai died.[4] In 2003, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) declared the site as a monument of national importance.[3][5] Aga Khan Palace is major attraction of photographers for various kind of photo shoot because of its special architecture, greenery and perfect for photography lighting.
