Nana Phadnavis Wada, Wai, Menavali

More or less at least this wada is maintained clean from inside, since maintained by someone .. however as I said in my previous post .. unfortunately places outside wada are not so clean … near to this place at 300~400 feets is location where the Song :Hud hud Dabangg” shoot from the movie “Dabangg” took place … however that place is also not so clean (i mean to say dirty)

There is an ancient tree, [as old as the Wada] In the movie Swades, the village Panchayat is hold on the stone platform around this tree.

Visiting this heritage of Maharashtra, you will get a feel of what could be there during the Peshwa era !

The “Darbar” hall has an attached bedroom with a teak wood bed. The floor here is swept with clay and cow dung in traditional way. Look at the legs of bed are kept on pot made of stone in which they used to put water which then prevents insect’s entry .. so have nice sleep .. good night 🙂
