From the numerous archaeological studies, we know that Pune initially was called Poona, Punaka Desha, Punevadi, Kasba Pune, etc. All those History and Geography scholars out there might also know that Pune is situated on the banks of two rivers; Mula and Mutha. But what’s interesting is that the name Pune was derived from the word ‘Punya’. It actually means confluence of two rivers. We wonder if anyone knew about this!
