Pune:--Culture of Pune

Pune is considered by many to be Maharashtra's cultural capital and the form of Marathi spoken in Pune is considered to be the standard form of the language. The culture of Pune encompasses both the traditional Maharashtrian lifestyle that is prevalent in the heart of the city, as well as a modern, progressive outlook resulting from its being a hub for education and liberal thought. People from multiple religions and speaking different regional languages reside here. It also hosts various national festivals and cultural events throughout the year.

In recent years it has also been a leader in Trance and Techno movements, alongside Goa and Mumbai.[citation needed] Due to a large student population, Pune also hosts many youth festivals such as Verve annually.
