<br />
Tulshibaug gets its name from the Tulshibaug ''wada'' located in this area, which is a famous temple of Lord [[Rama|Ram]], [[Ganpati]] and Shankar.<br />
<br />
The Tulshibaug Ram Temple was built during the [[Peshwa]] era, after the battle of [[Panipat]] in 1761, under Naro Appaji Khire (Tulshibaugwale) (1700-1775), the Subhedar of Pune.<ref name=behance>[http://www.behance.net/gallery/Conservation-of-Tulshibag-Pune/3774586 "Conservation of Shri Ram Mandir precinct, Tulshibag"], Behance</ref> Work commenced in 1763 and was completed in 1795 at a cost of Rs 136,667 and it covers an area of about an acre. In 1884 Nandram Naik completed work on the spire (shikhar) and the Sabhamandap. The temple is managed by [[Shree Ramji Saunsthan]].<br />
<br />
The statues of Lord Ram, [[Sita]], and [[Laxmana]], made by Umajibaba Pandharpurkar, were placed in the sanctum of the temple in November 1765. In 1767, the statue of Lord [[Hanuman]], crafted by Bakhatram Patharvat Gujrathi, was placed in the sanctum. Later in 1781 statues of Ganapati and [[Parvati]] were brought to the temple. Ornaments in gold, silver, pearls and diamonds were made for these statues.<ref>Peshwakalin Tulshibaug : http://puneheritage.com/?p=161</ref><br />
<br />
Apart from the Ram Temple, there are many other temples in the precinct. These include the temples of [[Ganesh]], [[Vitthal]] and [[Rukmini]], Dattatray and [[Maruts]]. Lord Ganesh here is called Moreshwar and Lord [[Shiva]] is known as Tribakeshwar or Kashivishveshwar. Right in front of the Ram Temple is a small temple of Hanuman. The idol is made of black stone showing Hanuman joining his palms in order to bow down before Ram.<br />
<br />
To the north of the Ram temple, a large ''wada'' was built that would serve as a residence for the heirs to Naro Appaji.<br />
<br />
===Conservation===<br />
Very few spaces and buildings of the Peshwa era survive in Pune today; however, the Ram Mandir precinct is largely intact. Architectural features of interest include woodwork, stonework, and lime stucco-work, in addition to a heritage of urban design over two centuries. It is relatively free of noise pollution. Today, a trade in sculpture, paintings and craftwork is carried on.<br />
<br />
In September 2009, work began on a three-year restoration project sponsored by the Shree Ramji Sansthan Tulshibaug Trust.<ref name=behance /><br />
