Weekly Bazar

Ratnagiri weekly bazar is well known as Aathavada Bazar in Ratnagiri  .

The weekly bazar

          It is a Saturday Bazar ! Every Saturday you see it . It is situated below side to the State Transport Depot. The road which comes into Ratnagiri city goes straight down to the Aathavada Bazar . It is a splendid place to visit and purchase vegetables as well as other small home products . It is very nice to just wander . 



A great facility


This is a great facility for many people . Many people come here , purchase or sell and enjoy . It is a lovely place to visit and watch how the trading actually goes here. It has started many years before and is getting crowded week by week . Traders from the longer distance come here to sell their products and people come here to purchase many useful things for their home and for themselves . The lower pricing is the major issue here which attracts the people to come and purchase .

 Here are some photographs of the Bazar : 






CIRCLES, NAKAS AND CHOWKS

A ROAD goes through many things . Each city has its own roads . There are many roads in my city Ratnagiri also . We would visit one by one road and its along sides . Each road has its own beauty , own class and own culture ! Every road is independent and still the roads have some common features ! Few are different by history , appearance and class . Yes , the roads do have class of their own ! Few roads had been built by the British ! You can still see the signs of British Vision in this city .

Let us start from a CIRCLE ! Laxmi chowk circle is one of the circles in Ratnagiri . It is always busy  . Here are some views :

Post office and the rikshaw stop








Opposite to the Partawane road , another road goes to Gokhale Naka . Gokhale Naka is one of the crowded place of market . There are many shops of different categories and it is the starting point of vegetables and fruits sellers. Here onwards the market goes on expanding . 

Rush of people at Gokhale Naka


       On the Gokhale Naka Road we see 03 more things . Here is Head Post office , a Rikshaw stop just in front of it and small but beautiful Sai Baba temple . Here are the photos :




                      As we move along , we meet more and more roads , circles , lovely buildings , lovely hoardings and boards of shops , beautiful shops and shopping people . We are going to see that one by one in this blog . Do visit often and see the running Ratnagiri . It is really a lovely city to watch during the day and even in the evening . It is a calm city and closes early almost at nine in the night . 


                     Here are few photos of another road which goes down to the area named Peth killa . Killa means a fort . This road comes down from the  Ratnagiri State Transport Depot via famous Aathawada Bazar (weekly market or Saturday Market ) .

                

..........................................

As we travel upwards from the S.T. Stand Ratnagiri, we come across another major circle. The Maruti Mandir Ratnagiri Circle. From here three main roads start. one goes to Udyamnagar, the road at the center goes to Hatkhamba and the road at other side goes to Nachane . Here is a photo of this circle : 





                          






somebody is dead !

 Here is a breaking news of possible murder on the outskirts of Ratnagiri. A body was found in the jungle area near Ratnagiri . Here is a link from a local news paper Tarun Bharat Ratnagiri edition , dated 09.04.52019 .

Kartik ekadashi

It was Kartik Ekadashi . Lord Kartikey is elder son of Lord Shiva . Lord Kartikey also known as Shadhanana , receives ladies in his temple today only . No any other day in a year is suitable for ladies to enter into his temple and see him . That is a story told by generations here . There are very few temples of Lord Kartikey in Ratnagiri Districts . I have gone to Kasaba ( Sangameshwar taluka ) and Dandeadam (Ratnagiri taluka ) . Here are some photos of the Dandeadam temple :







 This place is getting importance in the minds of followers of Lord Kartikey , the son of Lord Shiva .

Beautiful view from Sakhartar Bridge

SAKHARTAR BRIDGE ...

Sakhartar Bridge is a lovely bridge to travel . It is on the way to Ganpatipule , the famous religious centre in Maharashtra State . You can see the beautiful nature around, the blue sea and the blue sky . There are launches or traullers of fishermen . The fishermen go to fishing in the deep sea and return after the fishing . Sakhartar is very near to Ratnagiri City , just after the Shirgaon village .There is a continuous traffic on this bridge as it is on the way to Ganpatipule.
