A fire brigade official said the blaze may have been caused by fireworks at the pandal set up by the Sane Guruji Ganesh Mitra Mandal.
Pune city BJP president Dhiraj Ghate and security personnel were seen taking Nadda safely out of the pandal, a replica of Ujjain's famous Mahakaleshwar Temple.
As soon as the fire broke out, rains started in the area which helped douse the flames.
