I visited the Indrayni Thadi village food festival yesterday which is located at Bhosari area of PCMC. You can drive down to this location within 5 minutes from the Nasik Phata. As compared to the Bhim thadi and Pavana Thadi Food festivals this one is really a grand one 🙂 with authentic options of food from local villages. (as against that in Bhinthadi or Pavanathadi most of the food options are from city area groups – since I am visiting each and every of these festivals I can surely say that options at Indrayani thadi food festival are real authentic Gavran and you can see real local villagers serving and making food). Dates of year 2024 for this Jatra are YET TO BE DECLARED.

ENTRY to this festival is FREE

Look at the gavran village food options specially the non veg one with fish fry, mandeli fry, pomfret, prawns, crabs and mutton, chicken too. I loved the variety and authenticity of taste. I will be going today and tomorrow too, so that I can taste most of the stalls and each spice.

Another interesting thing I loved is the exhibition of Raje Shivaji Fort photographs, as well as the display of arms and ammunition from the Shivaji era is fascinating one for trek goers and Raje Shivaji fans. In all around 130 forts photographs are on display.

They also have prepared replica of two forts there and a big statue of Raje Shivaji.

I this this is a must area to visit in the Village area section of this festival.

Now coming to the grand entrance prepared for the IndrayaniThadi Festival aka Jatra.

Lot of efforts have gone into the design of entrance, I loved the concept as well as the presentation explaining the importance of Bhosari, Alandi, PCMC and the essence of village culture is being captured in the custouts put in at the entrance.

In the night time it looks beautiful indeed.

Since it was day one, I went there at 7 pm and spent about an hour in exploring the village section, then moved on to the food section .. in testing the veg food like Hurda Bhakari, Khandeshi Wange Bharit, Handavi (this is really a tasty dish and you must taste it), Ukadiche modak and so on … I was there till 10 pm … left promising that i will visit again …tomorrow and day after ..

Indrayni Thadi Jatra will be happening in the Bhosari area of Pimpri Chinchwad. This Jatra (meaning fair) is a way of enjoyment in Indian villages, the same theme is being picked up by Shri Mahesh dada Landge who thought of motivating women to enter into entrepreneurship by using the traditional skills and culture that they own. Providing a way for people to enjoy as well as provide a new identity to women.

So Indrayni Thadi is a kind of replica of a rural carnival (fair) with entertainment and food to taste from different villages in vicinity.

Come to enjoy the local cuisine, live shows, flea market, home made food, hadicrafts, and much more with your family and friends, especially kids would love it.
