Back in Pune, the marriage was not generally accepted because of the tradition of monogamy. Mastani lived for some time with Bajirao at his palace of [[Shaniwar Wada]] in the city of [[Pune]]. The palace's north-east corner held Mastani Mahal and had its own external doorway called Mastani Darwaza. Bajirao later built a separate residence for Mastani at [[Kothrud]] in 1734,<ref name=muse>[http://www.rajakelkarmuseum.com/default/collection/c-mastani.htm Rajakelkar Museum] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050308070945/http://www.rajakelkarmuseum.com/default/collection/c-mastani.htm |date=8 March 2005 }} accessed 3 March 2008</ref> some distance away from Shaniwar Wada.
