Nana Wada


Nana Wada


It was built in 1780 by Nana Phadnavis, Peshwa’s chief executive and accounting officer. Currently, the wada is under restoration process but one can find the wooden ceiling, arches, cypress-shaped pillars, motifs of banana-flower here. Nana Phadnavis built this Wada for himself and it is located to the south of Shaniwar Wada. One of the most remarkable forms of governance at that point of time included the ‘Diwankhana’ or the ‘hall of audience’. It is still intact in this wada and was built in the then- popular kalamdan style.
