How about putting that Netflix series on pause, and taking some time off from the screen to walk under the stars, and through chikoo orchards? Add to that indulging in some local khana and watching the native Koli dance, pavada, topped with soaking in tunes of folk music and tarpa, at the seventh chikoo festival in Bordi this weekend.
The festival was initiated by Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) in 2013 and later taken over by the Chikoo Festival Committee - now called Rural Entrepreneurship Welfare Foundation (REWF) - to promote tourism in the area.
