Hi! Friends
Today I like to share some view about my village which is surrounded by greenery. People who appreciate nature are healthier and happier. I believe this line from bottom of my heart. As I grew up in a environment friendly village of sattari which is just few kms away from Karnataka border.
I feel that I am a lucky person because I have seen the various animals and plants which city people are not able to see.
My village which is located few kilometers from the borders of Maharashtra and Karnataka, admist the greenary of the western ghat. The village is situated along the Chorla ghat connecting Belgavi in kanataka. The village gets it's name from kannad word meaning water tank. This holds true as the village is blessed with Rich and perennial sources of water.Today the village attracts a large number of local tourist during monsoon as the Chorla ghat has almost a hundred small and big waterfalls. Ponsuli which is along the Chorla ghat offers a panoramic view of the Anjunem dam. The local community has been protecting the forest of sattari in the name of it's folk dieties Ajobachi Rai, Pisachi Rai etc are the sacred groves that offer protection to all form of Flora and fauna. The village is full of natural varied species of birds and animals. All above mentioned treasure of Keri presently dwelling in the forest of sattari,lead as back into a very rich past that is making the present generation to come, appreciate,protect, preserve and promote this heritage.
