        abstract = {New The aim behind this research paper is 
to study the heritage management of Wadas located in 
Saswad region of Pune district of Maharashtra. Saswad 
is a cultural and historic town in Pune district of 
Maharashtra.  Wadas- the grand mansions (traditional 
Indian houses with courtyard) that once defined its 
architectural 
and cultural significance. These 
structures remind us of the glory of Maratha Empire 
and the Peshwas of Maharashtra. Wadas in Saswad are 
not only the residences but also they are the places 
where history, administration, social gathering, and 
culture developed. The paper highlights on heritage 
management of Wadas with respect to the practice of 
preserving and protecting the historical and cultural 
significance of Wadas, by undertaking appropriate 
means like conservation, restoration, preservation, 
maintenance, and adaptive reuse activities to guarantee 
its long-term sustainability and usability to future
