Hadshi Jun 2011

Had a bit of mixed feelings about this one, this temple has multiple gods, inaugurated by a human god, location is like heaven, other then temple nothing much to do, but still , it has something in it, that people flock to this place in hundreds, if not thousands.

drive to this one was the tough one that we chose, being on a car, on a rainy day. not sure about the route thru chandni chowk -paud and further , as we went via hinjewadi,paud and further, the temple is just after kolwan village, from pune its @ 35-40 odd kms. route mustave been gud enough on bike.

 

the last stretch from this pravesh dwar till the parking is a steep hill road, but a gud one. even to a novice car driver like me.

luckily did not found any car coming down the hill as we were climbing, as I wudave surely panicked :)

parking is free, has a snacks shop with tea, bhajiya and locally grown sai-keshar mangoes. take your pick. we had tea.

once you enter the place, it simplicity and the background just leaves you speechless. see for yourselves. no words.

 

stairs in the front takes you to the first floor , it has vithhal-rukmini , do the chores and come down to the ground floor, it has sai baba and his avatar satya sai baba alongside. do the chores , buy something from the store if you feel , and come out.

not sure what gave me more satisfaction, just visited gods or the heaven around. rains, mist, mountains, green, and nothing else. its just so awesome place. this place has lotus ponds with few lotuses in it, click click click.

rains poured for few minutes and the place got much wilder :) know what i mean? the serene scenery just leaves you speechless , good that its still not so famous and the crowd is still at a manageable level.

also it has these chinese kinda corner places for you to take shelter in rain or sunshine, as it comes. we took our own lunch so had that under one such chinese corner :)

well, as i said, nothin much to do , kid got bored in few minutes, no posing around , time to leave. just a parting snap for all you people to look forward to.
