  1. I dedicated this year Ganesha decoration (strictly eco-friendly) to highlight the glory of ignored fort 'Salher' thru recreation of a model similar to the actual fort in past. Fort Salher is the highest fort in the Sahyadri mountains and the second highest peak at 1,567 metres (5,141 ft) after Kalsubai in Maharashtra. The eco-friendly decoration of Salher recreation is a shear effort to aware trekkers, tourists, fort lovers and concerned authorities about fort Salher and its proud history ancient and historically significant.
