Morachi Chincholi _ Peacock World

#ashokasays Did you know 308:

Peacock... our national bird. We can find this beautiful birds all over the country. But visit this small village Morachi Chincholi near Pune in Maharshatra, you'll find Peacocks everywhere. 

Morachi Chincholi  by name itself means a village of tamarind trees and town of dancing peacocks all around. It is situated near Ahmednagar-Pune Highway about 55 km from Pune. Even today one can find a lot of peafowl in the village.

It is said that during the Peshwe dynasty many tamarind trees were planted and these attracted peafowl. The villagers also claim that their ancestors kept planting tamarind trees and cohabited with this bird. Now there are around 2500 peafowl in this region.

Even today you can find a lot of peacocks everywhere in this small village. They are like just one among the whole village community and are like neighborhood friends. Children here grow up with these beautiful creatures. 

With this high intensity of Peacocks being around in this place, MTDC & ATDC has approved this to be a peacock sanctuary. 

So incase you feel like saying Yeah Dil Mange "Mor", you know where to go now. 

INCREDIBLE BHARATHA
