Pantancha Gate, often simply referred to as "Pantancha Gate" or sometimes even shortened further, is a well-known landmark and locality within the historic Sadashiv Peth area of Pune, Maharashtra, India. It isn't a grand gate like a fortified city entrance. Instead, it's more accurately described as a prominent intersection or a recognizable area named after a historical feature, specifically a family or person of significance. The name "Panta" likely refers to a prominent family (surname) that resided in the area in the past. These types of naming conventions are common in older areas of Pune.
