On
the shore of Tadoba lake, is a shrine underneath the canopy
of a large tree, that is held in high regard by the adivasis.
A well attended fair is held here annually, between December
and January (Pushya maasa). A walk to Panchdhara (5 km), with
an exclusive water hole, is also recommended. Also worth a
walk is Jamunbadi (5 km), with grasslands and thick jungles
intermingling, providing you with just the right touch of
nature at its best.
