There is a history behind the Peshwe Udyan in Pune, Maharashtra which dates back to the era of the Peshwas. At a time when the Talayatala Ganpati temple was built, the sand which came out while excavating the lake was kept aside. Later, the Peshwas planted trees at this place. With the passage of time, when Pune Municipal Corporation came to life, it constructed a garden in addition to a Zoo at this site
