There was a light drizzle next day morning but by the time I started
for darshan it stopped.I hurried to the temple and was expecting lot
of security.But probably as it was too early in the morning I passed
without any checks.Also due to less rush I had good darshan and
did my prayers.After spending some time in and around the temple
checking the carvings and the sculptors I left.Kolhapur is full of
places of tourist interest but due time constraint I visited only the temple and kept rest for future.
The next two places were on the opposite sides of the highway.On the way to Sagareshwar rains stopped but it was still cloudy.After
checking the temples I headed for the Santuary ,its a drive in Santuary but no proper markers in place.one of the local said one need to
venture deep inside to get the glimpse of the animals . But still was able to see mongoose and peacocks.Clouds were hovering above which made me worried.From sagareshwar I headed back to
the highway and then to chandoli dam .nearing too the dam the roads were no longer of tar but full of stones and hence the drive was difficult and slippery.just before the dam there is a tourist spot
where I saw some buses. People align at this spot and then a local guide takes them deep in the jungle where they can spot the animals and if lucky also a tiger.One person warned me not to
venture alone and instead told me check the dam.After the check post I saw the dam from a distance and then headed for karad.
