day trip through the vasai virar sub region: image post 1 - agashi






we drove on the highway heading north and after a makeshift picnic of omlette pav from hotel saheel at the check naka arrived at agashi with a temple on a tank and a library hanging over the main street. the temple is domestic still until the ugly redevelopment completely defaces it. opposite the temple is the old peshwa wada in yellow and white pilastered splendour

I miss the old Agashi...like 20yrs back..I have such fond memories of the place..the old temples at the Naka,pond,the big banyan tree had such strong winds around it...its magnificence overwhelmed me everytime! And the old library near the pond...How I miss everything! And now when I see how roofed houses have turned into concrete buildings...it just breaks my heart.
