Motha Maruti (Magnetic Hanuman)Temple, Lonar
Motha Maruti temple in Lonar, Buldhana where we see a huge statue of Hanuman in sleeping position which was built out of a magnetic rock.
On the north side of Dhara Temple Complex (Gomukh Temple), there is an old temple of Lord Hanuman near Ambar Lake. Idol of Hanuman is 9 feet, 3 inches high and 4 feet in breadth. Idol's right foot is on the Earth and under left foot there is idol of Lord Shani, which is captured by Hanuman's tail. Hanuman's left hand is in japa position and right hand is blessing.
Scientifically it has magnetic effect. It indicates that Hanuman is magnetic. This 8th century idol was coated by Red paint (Shendur). Now Shendur is removed by Kanitkar family(owner of the temple). This temple was given as Jahagir by Nizam of Hydrabad to Kanitkar family.

Bike Ride - Pashan - Pune - India
Bike ride to Pashan hill trail and Pashan lake in Pune - India.
We went early morning and explored these beautiful trails in Pune city. The hill trail is a favorite place of trekkers but we did not see many bikers over there. An amazing place for Mountain Biking.
Pashan lake is absolutely serene and although attracts the crowd, its still peaceful and green. It is just at the outskirts of the city on the highway and a must place to visit.

Road Trip || Pune to Bhimashankar || BLOGGER ||Places to travel in Maharashtra || INDIA
It was 28th July and we planned a short trip with some of my friends to get refreshed after the hard week i had. Basically wanted to rewind, enjoy the bike ride,click the beauty of mother nature and adventure into the dense jungles. So planned for a bike ride to Bhimashankar, 130 Km’s from Pune.
We started in the morning 5, met infront of our Office Main gate. Had chai and breakfast at a road side tea stall near Nashik phata.
We were 7 members two on three bikes and one with his Enfield, It was pretty packed up carrying few stuffs and my DSLR. We then decided, we would be covering much distance with out a pause now. But the serene beauty of the places and road side ghats did not allow this. There were so many beautiful places by the highway in between that we had to stop and click.
On the onset of the ghat, we started taking the rough curves. After riding for some time, we discovered a beautiful lake surrounded by hills on one side and highway on the other. We decided to stop, click some pictures and then resume.
My colleagues demanded profile pics, so made them pose and shot.
Als managed to take the advantage of the sun and clicked our shadow.
We started on our bikes again and filled our petrol tanks after the ghat section was over. After continuous riding for an hour, we came across a beautiful dam. Though its was very far but my 17-55 mm lens covered it gracefully !
We felt that our destination was now not far as the jungle, trees, bushes started. Riding on the thin road in between the dense jungles and trees on both sides gave me a warm feeling inside, felt i am thousands of km’s away from the busy streets, the honking of vehicles were replaced by the pleasant twitting of many bird, altogether gave me a different feel for the first time in the journey.
We reached Bhimashankar at around 9:30 AM. Firstly, visited the main Bhimashankar temple, place for which bhimashankar is known for. There were lovely sculptures on the walls of the temple and i tried my hand clicking them by altering many settings.
Also found this old man playing lovely music by his hand made instrument basically strings !
Could have clicked from the front but the place was all occupied by tourists.
Then we asked a localite about the places we wanted to visit. I had taken the names of the points & places to visit in bhimashankar before we started. Googled, read some blogs and took the places. They included Bhimashankar Wild Life Sanctuary, Kalavanti Mahal,Hanuman Mandir,Nagphani point.
We parked our vehicles and then started for the hunt for these places. The terrain was very uneven and we had to drink lots of water to keep us hydrated in this harsh heat of the sun. Once, our foot journey started, we had to cross the steep terrain and small hills and our backs, legs were in pain.
We kept moving and moving taking small small breaks in between.
It was a harsh physically but the beauty of the place on the tophill kept us moving.
We then reached the top and were so energized and refreshed after seeing the scenic beauty of this wonderful terrain, just loved it.
On our downward journey, we visited the Hanuman Mandir. This place had lot of monkeys and we gave some portion of the food we carried with us. In return, these monkeys gave us good poses :-)
We were hell tired by now. We reached a hotel for lunch on the way back, freshened up, parked our vehicles. It was already 4 PM by then and we had to start since we have to cover some distance.
On the return journey, i was the pillion rider as i wanted to click some images with the movement without stopping. On both sides of the road, there were large lands covered with grass, giving a layer of gold on the top of it !
Our water bottles were empty now and luckily we found a place where fresh water was being spilled from a top pipe. Filled our bottles, made the body wet. Loved the mechanism used for water showering, being an engineer and clicked it.
Also i tried some shadow shoot. It was very difficult also to keep the camera static with the speed the bike was moving. Still got few clicks.
After covering some distance, we took a break at a place which was surrounded by large rice and wheat fields on both sides. Loved to see it after so long a time.
I then tried to make a profile pic for this trip album which basically covers the bike, the helmet and my Team
And the inspiration for all these – I promised my life to always remain happy, my life also said to me that it will be happy if I remained happy.
The trip was great, the experience was great.

Arai Exploration Part 2 | Vetal Tekdi | Arai Hills
Vetal Hill is the highest hill in Pune district with an altitude of 2600 feet. However, during monsoon the terrain is slippery and well fogged making trekking difficult. Vetal hill is protected by the India Forestry Department. Many species of flora and fauna is found which makes the mini trek interesting. The view at the top of the hill gives us a beautiful panorama of Pune city especially from the tower. The early morning trek serves a great motivation as many people come for exercise and meditation.
You will mostly find mountain bikers, passionate photographers hunting for great pictures of peacocks and rabbits etc.
