Mastani

This culinary saga begins 50 years ago, when Sharadrao Kondhalkar decided to change the established recipe of Mastani—a much-loved dessert said to have been named after the warrior princess from Bundelkhand who won Peshwa Bajirao's heart!

Kelkar’s passion for the artefacts was not limited to a time period nor to one form of an item. By 1960, he had collected more than 21,000 items—ranging from pots to instruments and paintings to daggers.
