Aga Khan Palace is a historic landmark in Pune built in 1892 by Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan III. The palace played an important role in India's freedom movement when Mahatma Gandhi, Kasturba Gandhi and Mahadev Desai were interned here during the Quit India Movement in 1942. Kasturba Gandhi and Mahadev Desai passed away during their internment and their memorials are located within the palace grounds. Today the palace houses a museum containing photographs, personal belongings and historical material related to Mahatma Gandhi and India's freedom struggle. The complex is also known for its elegant Italian-style arches, spacious halls and landscaped gardens.
