History

For some period, Pune was ruled by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb of Delhi. When Aurangzeb attacked Pune, he inhabited Budhwar Peth in 1660.{{citation needed|date=March 2012}} In his era, this Peth was known as Mohitabad or Moheyabad. Thorale Madhavrao Peshwa made developments and renamed it as Budhwar Peth when he got the power in their hand. Tulshibag, Belbaugh and Gramdevata Jogeshwari are the historical proofs of Budhawar Peth.

The Bhide Wada, located near limbraj maharaj temple hosted the first school for girls in Maharashtra. The school was started by Savitribai and Jyotiba Phule in January 1848.[1]

Present

Places of interest include; Jogeshwari Temple, N.M.V High School, Laxmi Road, Appa Balwant Chowk and Dagadusheth Halwai Ganapati temple, which is believed to be the richest amongst all Ganesh Temples{{Citation needed|date=November 2007}} with the Lord Ganesha icon laden with several lakhs of rupees of gold, and worshipped for obstacle removal.

The place also boasts of being the producing hub of automated taxi meters for most of the autos/rented car in India.

Red-light district

Budhwar Peth houses India's third largest red-light district.[2] It has been estimated to contain about 700 brothels[3] and 5,000 prostitutes.[2] The area suffers from sex trafficking,[4] child prostitution[5] and police corruption.[6] HIV was formerly a large problem, but an HIV/AIDS programme,[7] including education and condom distribution has resulted in a considerably reduced HIV prevalence.[8]
