SAAT KOTHADI

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

Sort of a temple inside a small cave reported a self-styled travel writer who narrates how his probably noisy gang of vehicle cum cameraderie friends proceeded (apparently on 28th June 2006) at Mandu Fort from one small artifice called Jali Mahal … to Saat Kothadi, a small diversion from the main road. A temple inside a small cave is located here and a mini cascade flows here when the rains are in. We did not have the patience [read: neither interest nor perseverance or stamina] to walk down the cave. In any case, the aunty who gave us all this info also told us that nothing was good that time so the place can be expected to be unspoilt. ETYMOLOGY: The Marathi -Saat Kothadi-, in Hindi -Saat Kothari-; translates as Seven [large] Houses, Mansions.Also reported from Mandu (note 1) is –>Gagan Gufa and the caves (or so) at –>Jahangirpur Gate, –>Saat Kothadi, and –>Surajpura along with the –>Champa Baoli, certain –>Mandu Caves and the –>Mandu Undergrounds.Sort of a temple inside a small cave reported a self-styled travel writer who narrates how his probably noisy gang of vehicle cum cameraderie friends proceeded (apparently on 28th June 2006) at Mandu Fort from one small artifice called Jali Mahal … to Saat Kothadi, a small diversion from the main road.
