टीप : हे सर्व कार्यक्रम विनामूल्य आहेत

One of the best part of life is to tinker with your taste buds 🙂 and I get this chance here two times in a year, one when I go to the Bhimthadi jatra at Pune and second when I go for the weekend food fest – Pavanathadi Jatra organized by PCMC.

You get vegetarian and non-vegetarian homely food directly from the kitchen of women who do this day in day out to run their houses. Another part of interest to me is exhibition stalls by the Self Help Groups (SHGS) where different hand made clothing, papad, pickles, masalas, arts are kept on sale.

PCMC management looks more proficient than it was last year, so i was bit surprised and happy too.

Location of Pavanathadi jatra is PWD ground Sangvi.

Artists are performing Jagaran Gondhal (this is typical dance and music combination playes throughout the night after the marriage ceremony in villages)At the entry gate another troop is performing traditional Sanai vadan, which is normally performed during Indian Marriages (again at the entry gate)

And the Pomfret Fish ready to fry .. It was so mouth watering and yummy …

Right photo shows typical dish from Konkan called as Ukadiche Modak … it is steamed dish with stuffing of coconut and sugar plus other ingredients … the stall was so crowdy that i was not able to get taste of it 🙁

One more stall with typical dish called as Purnache Mande, you can see lady bouncing Mande in hands, then she shall put on inverted utensil for roasting .. one manda will be suffice for two of u for sure …
