The poona visit had strange encounter with lakhs of people flooding Pune-Banglore Highway. Five Kilometer stretch was standstill for almost half a day. The gathering was in honour of citation offered to the disciple of swami samarth follower by sharad pawar. The temperature was around 37 Degree, yet it did not mar the spirit & faith of people showed up for the occasion. It seems the disciple is 9th generation, descended from the era of Shivaji.
