Bhakti-Shakti Garden — Attraction in Maharashtra

I crossed this Bhakti Shakti Garden many a times while travelling to Mumbai but didn't get an opportunity to visit it, so one day had a evening bike ride to Nigdi from Pune to visit is beautiful garden and most famous evening spot in PCMC. It is also known as “PCMC Chowpati”. This is a government park developed and maintained by PCMC near Nigdi Pradhikaran PCMC bus stop.

To reach this garden one need to travel on old Mumbai-Pune highway & after crossing the Nigdi flyover, you find this garden on the left side of the Nigdi Pradhikaran Chowk. Garden is open from 6 to 8 am in the morning and 5 to 8:30 pm in the evening.

Bhakti Shakti Garden in Nigdi, PCMC, is a small urban garden best suited for children rather than adults. The main attractions here are kid-friendly rides, open play areas, and colorful surroundings that keep youngsters entertained. The garden is clean and safe, making it a comfortable spot for parents to bring their kids for an evening outing. Small food stalls and ice-cream vendors add to the “mela”-like feel, which is enjoyable for families with children.

While the garden has a prominent statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Sant Tukaram Maharaj, along with a tall national flag that adds cultural and patriotic value, the overall space lacks variety and engagement for adults. Seating areas are limited, and the walking tracks are short, so it’s not ideal for those looking for long, peaceful strolls or nature walks.

In the evenings, the place gets quite crowded, which may not appeal to visitors seeking quiet relaxation. However, for children, the rides, open lawns, and festive environment make it a lively and fun destination. In short, Bhakti Shakti Garden works well as a short family stop with kids, but adults without children might find it...

I recently visited a beautiful garden in this area, and I was truly impressed by its charm and tranquillity. The highlight of the garden is undoubtedly the towering Indian flag, proudly fluttering in the breeze, evoking a strong sense of patriotism and pride.

The garden itself is meticulously maintained with lush greenery, colourful flowerbeds, and well-paved pathways perfect for leisurely strolls. Benches are thoughtfully placed, offering serene spots to sit and admire the surroundings. The atmosphere is peaceful, making it an ideal place for families, morning walkers, and those seeking a quiet retreat.

The presence of the large Indian flag adds a unique touch to the garden, making it not just another green space but a symbol of national pride. The flag is prominently visible from various points within the garden, serving as a majestic backdrop for photos.

Overall, this garden is a delightful spot to relax, connect with nature, and feel a deep sense of national pride. Highly recommended for anyone...
