This place was a complete surprise to me as I didn't expect to see such a serene place amidst the chaos of Pune and India. The synagogue is beautiful outside as inside. It is very good preserved and well kept. Believers may attend the synagogue for prieres during the day, Sabbath and jewish holiday as there is a small jewish community in Pune. Visitors are welcome after a short investigation for security purpose. There is a wide parking lot On the site. We can also find the mausoleum of the praised Mr. David Sassoon near by. I was very moved!

David was known for his philanthropic works in Pune and had also built the Sassoon Hospital. Due to the red bricks used in David Synagogue construction, it is popularly known as Lal Davel or Red Synagogue or Red Temple. Although it is a place dedicated to Jewish community, it attracts visitors from all section of the society, from all over the world. Its startling architectural beauty, combined with the religious significance, makes for a worth remembering sight. It has been constructed in the neo-Gothic style, and displays a unique usage of various shades of colors. This Synagogue used to see more number of Jewish visitors during the monsoon and summer season. As many Jewish residents from Mumbai and nearby places would spend their summer and rainy months here in Pune, owing to its better climatic conditions. In the premises of the David Synagogue, there is tomb of the Late David Sassoon, where he had resided when alive. In its premises, you will also find a Mikvah. Apparently, a Hazzan from Mumbai goes to this synagogue to conduct Shabbat prayers. One of the popular tourist attractions of Pune, this Synagogue captivates visitors with its structural beauty.
