Narayan Rao wanders in the fort even today and the last words spoken by him "Kaka Mala Vachava" are heard in the fort even today. Therefore this fort is included in the Top most haunted place of India
Shaniwar Wada Fort is located in Pune, Maharashtra. The foundation of this fort was kept on Saturday,hence it was named Shaniwar Wada. It is famous for its grandeur and historicity. It was built in the 18th century by the Peshwas who ruled the Maratha Empire.
It was the principal seat of the Peshwas until 1818. But a black chapter is also associated with this fort.
In this fort on the night of 30 August 1773, 18-year-old Narayan Rao, who was becoming the fifth Peshwa of the Maratha Empire at the age of only 16, was conspired to kill.
When the murderers came to kill him, he sensed the danger and ran to his Kaka (uncle) room and called "Kaka Malla Wachwa" (Uncle Save Me), but the misfortune left before reaching there. It is said that the soul of the same child Narayan Rao is still worshiped in Kirtas and the last words spoken by him "Kaka Mala Vachava" are heard in the fort even today. Hence this fort is included in India's top most haunted place (India's top most haunted place).
Construction of Shaniwar Wada Fort:
The foundation of this fort was laid by Peshwa Bajirao I on Saturday, 10 January 1730. The fort was inaugurated on 22 January 1732. Even after this, many buildings and a Lotus Fountain were built inside the fort.
Shaniwar Wada Fort was constructed by the contractors of Rajasthan, who were awarded the title of Naik after the completion of their work. The teak wood in this fort was brought from the jungles of Junnar, the stone mines of Chinchwad, and the mines of Chunj Jejuri. On February 27, 1828, there was a fierce fire in this palace for unknown reasons. It took seven days to completely extinguish the fire.
Due to this many buildings built in the fort complex were completely destroyed. Now only their remains remain. Now if we talk about the structure of this fort then there are five gates to enter the fort.
