Lal Mahal:

Lal Mahal is in Pune City. The Lal Mahal resembles more a sandstone- red palace, than a traditional Wada. Historians assume it to have been built by Dadaji Konddev in 1640, two years after he had possession of the city from the Adilshahi Sultans.

Konddev brought Shivaji up here, and hence the modern structure built accords pride of place to a marble bust of Jijabai. It was also in this structure that the Mughal general Shaista Khan sent by his king and nephew Aurangazeb to end Shivaji's political power lost three fingers while trying to escape through the window on being taken by surprise by a small band of Maratha soldiers in the dark of the night.
