Surprises on the road
Spotted this monument on Chaul-Sarai road, in Raigad district. It's a protected monument, says the ASI board. Sadly, no other information was available. Locals term it as ruins from Shivaji Maharaj's rule. Chaul-Revdanda were strategically important, so one can spot lots of ruins. Some of the loose stones have been used to build present day houses. So much for history! These caves were again spotted on Chaul-Revdanda road. We couldn't climb up there, so this was clicked from across the road Locals say there are about 365 temples, big and small, and equal number of ponds and temple tanks. This one's a favourite because I had been here with friends after writing second year exams. Or was it first year? Rameshwar Temple in Chaul, in need of repairs. You come away feeling happy and lighter in mind.
