History edit

Shivajinagar has a very long history, with the 8th-century, Rashtrakuta-era Pataleshwar cave temple being the oldest manmade structure in Pune.[2]

The neighbourhood was earlier a village known as Bhambwade, with the name changing over time to Bhamburde.[3] During the Maratha and British periods, Bhamburde's Patil (Village chief) came from the Shirole Patil family, members of which also served in the Maratha Army.[citation needed] In the Peshwa era, a handmade paper factory was located in the village. [4]

Later, in the 19th century, Jangali Maharaj, a Sufi saint revered mainly by Hindus, settled down here. A temple with his tomb (samadhi) is located today in Shivajinagar and a major road in the locality is named after him.[5]

The Inamdar and Patil of Bhamburde, Rajaram Naroji Shirole Patil, leased 37 acres of land at the foot of Hanuman Tekdi (hill) for 99 years to the Deccan Education Society in 1885. The society's best-known institution, Fergusson College, was built on this land.[6]

In the early 20th century, Wadarvadi, one of the oldest and biggest slums in Pune today, came up on unused land belonging to the Shirole Patil family close to the Chaturshrungi Temple and at the foot of Hanuman Tekdi, near today's Senapati Bapat Road.[3]: 42  Wadarvadi is inhabited mainly by the formerly nomadic Waddar community.

A statue of Shivaji was installed in the locality in 1928. The Shri Shivaji military preparatory school was later established nearby.

After Indian Independence in 1947, Bhamburde was renamed Shivajinagar after Shivaji. [citation needed]
