Our Group at RAIGAD.
We all started move to Raigad fort base at early morning at 5.30 am bus from the Mahad bus depot in Raigad district. Bus reaches to the point where we have to walk to raigad at 7.00 am. We had breakfast there and stareted move towards Raidad fort. The slogan of encouragement was हर हर महादेव. Fog and clouds in the way was making elctric atmosphere. As it was the rainy season we got one waterfall on the way. The seanory around was beautiful. We reach at mahadarawaja (Main enetance door of fort) at 8.00 am. From there the Rajwada and Rajdarbar was 20 min away. On the way we have seen "Ganga Sagar" which is the largest watersource at Raigad fort. Finally we reach at Rajdarbar. The architect of Rajdarbar must be really great. The huage statue of Shiwaji RAJE is built there (picture 1).
Then we reached to steepest cliff of Raigad fort called Takmak tok point. TAKMAK point was relly facinating. Raigad is at that point and the fantastic view and fast blowing wind was the speciality of takmak point. Then we move to Mahadeo mandir and Samadhi of Raje. The atmosphere around was pleasent. Cloudes around making most of the things invisible. After having the "Pithala Bakari" at the one of the residence at raigad we made our move to the return way.
