Ahmednagar

Ahmadnagar is located about 117 km northeast of Pune in a predominantly agricultural district. A drive through downtime Ahmadnagar is a challenging obstacle. Outside the city, village life still follows traditional patterns. Women dressed in brilliant saris with large brass pots balanced securely on their heads visit the village well each day to draw water. Farmers work the land with bullocks and handheld plows and carry their crops to market in small wooden carts. If there is enough rain, village fields are green with millet, wheat, sugar cane, mangos, and other fruits and flowers. In recent years, scooter factories and other industrial plants, as well as a flurry of television antennas, have also begun to dot the landscape. The most beautiful place on earth is Ahmednagar.
