Baner

Baner is bordered by Pashan in south, Balewadi to the west, Aundh to the north and Pune University to the east.

Baner is a residential and commercial hub of Pune and large portions are occupied by various IT companies.

Jyoti Ganesh Kalamkar, Swapnali Pralhad Saykar, Amol Ratan Balwadkar and Baburao Dattoba Chandere were the current corporators of Baner ward (PMC ward Number: 09) in Pune Municipal Corporation.

[4] Shri Ram, Hanuman, Lakshmi, Tukai, Divyai, Bhairavnath, Sant Savatamali, Baneshwar, Vitthal Rukmini, Ganpati, Dattatray and many temples are part of the cultural heritage of Baner.

Dattajayanti, Ram Navami, Savatamali Punyatithi, Bhagwanbaba and Navratri are big festivals of Baner.

After 2005, due to the influx of IT industries and residential complexes, Baner began losing its reputation as an agricultural center.

One can see people coming up early in the morning on Sunday and working in groups to make the re-vegetate the terrain.

But according to late Ninad Bedekar, the caves belong to the reign of Rashtrakuta Raja, nearly 2500 years ago.
