“Every inch of Saswad soil has a chapter of history written on it!” - Babasaheb Purandare. On the banks of the Karha river, Saswad dazzles travellers with its rich history as a home to several Buddhist monasteries and temples and the homeland for the first Peshwa from the Bhat family. If you have watched Tumbad and marvelled at the ancient doors and locks, you can see some of them in Saswad!

The Birdman

Sumedh aka the Birdman! Yes, you read it right! You will not just enjoy his impeccable mimicry of the enchanting birds; you will actually witness the birds responding to his calls. It is lovely to watch a man who is in such unison with nature.
