Bund Garden is located 2 km from the Pune Railway Station. The gardens are situated next to Fitzgerald Bridge and take their name from the bund, or dam, on the Mula river.[1]
History
These mini dams built by Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, the Parsi businessman and philanthropist,[2] served as a source of irrigation water for the under-privileged. The garden was opened in 1869 when the bridge was completed. It was planned by Colonel Sellon who was able to transform the waste space into a garden,[3] known today as the "Mahatma Gandhi Udyan" a reference to the existing bridge that leads to the Gandhi National Memorial.
