10- Rajpuri Caves

Rajpuri Caves

In addition to being a place of worship,  Rajpuri Cave s are one of Panchgani’s most spectacular tourist destinations. Residents in Panchgani and the neighboring town think that Lord Kartikeya performed religious ceremonies in the prehistoric caves. When the Pandavas were exiled, they lived in these caverns, which are bordered by tiny ponds. People take baths in these water bodies since it is also thought that the Holy Ganges empties into these ponds.

Activities : Quickly explore the caves to find the local flora and wildlife.

There is no right or wrong answer as to what might have happened at Panchgani under these circumstances. According to Pyarelal’s statement before the Commission, RSS members had “infiltrated” the police.

Meherabad, Nasik, or Panchgani? Baba concluded by saying, “Those of you who want to go to Meherabad should pack for your respective homes right away.” Just when Buasaheb was about to lose his cool, he began to pack.

Afterward, he went back to Poona and went on to Panchgani, a beautiful hill town in the Western Ghats, where he could get away from the oppressive Indian summer. 47 While Gandhi was concluding his prayer, his health started to get better. Feroze might not have been aware of that, I reasoned.
