On our way back from Pratapgadh to Mahabaleshwar is this beautiful setup of rural Maharashtrian village, set in the 1600's. We had a guide who explained each sculpture, every detail of the set up - what did a mason, blacksmith, farmer, carpenter, 'Patil' do in those times and how they helped the ruling Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The Patil's 'Wada' was reminiscent of my ancestral village home. Some amazing picks as well. All in all, worth a visit. And yes, the place was hosting a wedding where the entire village had turned up! And ticket price is only 100Rs/-
Oh Just amazing experience. You will really feel that you are a gaon.
