Raja Rani Vazir
Sawantwadi is known for its hand crafted wooden toys. The now-queen of Sawantwadi Rani Satvasheela devi, herself is an artist and artlover, and enjoys patronizing some wonderful arts and crafts. These crafts include the art of making and playing Ganjifa (cards) and crafting the board game of chess.
Conceptualized by the Queen herself, the two sides of black and white are turned into colorful red and green made of wood and hand painted with decorative designs. I love this colorful chess! So tiny and skilfully crafted! Raja (king), rani (queen), vazir (viceroy), mavla (soldier), hatti (elephant), ghoda (horse) and unta (camel) all are present in the force. These are specially made only in the Rajwada under the guidance of Rani Satvasheela devi and is also available in their shop for Rs 3000/- per set.
(Couldn't get much better and more pictures)
Did not buy these :P but got some nice wooden toys from the local market.

Smallest Snail
AB is back, all refreshed and rejuvenated from a monsoon trip to Konakan with lot of inspirations and explorations with nature!!
After a lot of rice-farming fun in the fields, I was getting a little cleaned up and what I discover is a real tiny baby snail wandering on my palm. Yeaa!! Indeed it is the season of snails, but not all snails are as beautiful and as enjoyable as this one was! All soft and transparent, slow and steady, sticky yet fun!!
After a lot of photographing and playing around with it on my hand I dropped it on a leaf for more of its adventurous explorations with nature...
One of my snail pattern is here..
