India's Maratha Empire was founded and established by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the 17th century. Later, it was expanded during the Peshwa Era in the 18th century, with Pune becoming the Empire's capital.

Parvati Hill is an iconic landmark from that era. The hill has a temple complex which was built in the 18th century. Today, the hill remains a popular spot that welcomes many visitors every day.

On top of the hill, next to the Peshwa Museum, there are a number of murals installed along the walkway. These relief murals depict the era of the Maratha Empire, highlighting several important events, battles and victories.

Some of the murals are in low-relief while others are in high-relief. The artwork focuses on the forts, temples, urban planning of Pune and the other aspects of how the Maratha Empire was established and expanded over the years.
