A VISIT TO THE PARVATHI FARMS AT GOONIPALAYAM, THIRUVALLUR DISTRICT ,TAMILNADU.
On 24th, 25th &26th Jan 2020 , a group of five - Ravi Kamat his wife Sushma, Krishna Lala, Shaila Kopikkar all from Mumbai visited our 10 acre farm which accommodates a Goshala with 30 and odd cows at Thiruvallur district 60 kms off Chennai mainly to get the feel of farm and village settings.
Apart from visiting our PARVATHI FARMS at Goonipalayam village, we also visited the surrounding areas which included
1. GOKULA KRISHNA FARM - Our neighbourhood farm with more than 100 cows
2. POONDI RESERVOIR - Just next to our farm, Supplies drinking water to Chennai
3. FORESTS AROUD THE FARM - Lot of Red sandal wood forest and other trees are found
4. TEMPLES AROUND THE FARM - There are important temples of great significance around the farm
5. BAJANS BY VILLAGERS - The villagers showed their talent by rendering soulful Bajans
It was great fun, a reunion of old friends and an eye opener of what a rustic surrounding can offer to the body and soul. A very interesting and peaceful retreat.
Here is the action scene of three days by visuals.
