5 Sights & Landmarks in Karad That You Shouldn't Miss
Karad is a city in Satara district in the southern part of Indian state of Maharashtra and it is 290 km (180.19 miles) from Mumbai and 159 Km from Pune. It lies at the confluence of Koyna River and the Krishna River. The two rivers originate at Mahabaleshwar, which is around 100 km from Karad. They diverge at their origin, and travel for about the same distance to meet again in Karad. The rivers meet exactly head on, thus forming letter "T" which is the only head on confluence in the world. Hence Krishna and koyna river's confluence is called Preeti Sangam, meaning Confluence of Love. Karad is well known for sugar production and is known as the sugar bowl of Maharashtra owing to the presence of many sugar factories in and around Karad. It is considered as an important educational hub in Western Maharashtra due to the presence of many prestigious educational institutes. This place is also known for resting place or (Samadhi) of the first chief minister of Maharashtra Shri. Yashwantrao Chavan situated at the confluence of Krishna and Koyana river.

This is one place that is a delight to all your senses, sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing. This place is located on the banks of Koyna and krishna rivers both originating from mahabaleshwar but taking two opposite routes to meet back at Karad. The best part if the view of two rivers perpendicular to each other merging into one and moving forward. The samadhi sthal is well maintained, clean and very well managed.
