Formerly known as Reay Market, it was renamed Mahatma Phule Mandal Market in 1938. It was originally built by the British government in 1885 in the then-popular neo-Gothic style of architecture and, also served as the municipality office for some time. One of Pune’s largest vegetable markets, the prominent features here are the market’s octagonal structure with a central tower and eight entrances. The bustling market is packed with 526 stalls selling fruits and vegetables, and even articles for religious worship can be found here. During the Ganesh festival, the 127-year-old heritage market puts up their own Ganpati Mandal named Akhil Mandai Ganapati, which is one of the most famous and iconic mandais in Pune.
