'''Gayakwadwada''' is the name of a large edifice in [[Pune]], [[India]] which was built by the Sardar Gayakwad family as a residential place for it. [[Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III|Sayajirao Gayakwad]], the prince of [[Baroda State|Baroda state]], would occasionally stay there. <br />
<br />
[[Bal Gangadhar Tilak]] bought the place from Sayajirao in 1905 to serve as an office building for his ''[[Kesari (newspaper)|Kesari]]'' and ''Maratha'' newspapers. Tilak lived in a part of Gayakwada, and the place was occasionally used by [[India]]n nationalists for their nightlong discussions concerning overthrow of [[British Empire|British]] colonial rule over India. (Tilak had popularized the annual [[Ganesh Chaturthi]] festival in Pune and [[Maharashtra]] --as the means to generating nationalist spirit among people in Maharashtra—by initiating the festival in the courtyard of Gayakwadwada.) <br />
<br />
The edifice currently houses the offices of ''Kesari'' and mementos of Tilak, including his writing desk, original letters, and documents; and the first India national flag unfurled by Madame Cama.<br />
