During one of motorcycle ride I had been to Walankund. A very quiet place and worth seeing.Some basic information about this place.
Walan Kund (T. Mahad) famous for its sacred fish, is a pool in the Kal river, in a gorge below the village of Dapoli, about twelve miles north-east of Mahad. The pool, which is about 100 yards long by thirty feet broad, is believed to be unfathomable. According to the local story the tape that formed the bottom of seven cots, that is a length of about 1,000 feet, has failed to reach the bottom. The pool is sacred to the goddess Wardhani, who is held in special veneration by a group of seven villages, Paneh, Dapoli, Panderi, Walankund, Manganv, Devgad and Vagholi. The pool is full of fish, chiefly kadas, kolas, and shindas. Some of the shindas are of great size, five or six feet long, but they seldom show themselves. The other fish are tame and are regularly fed.
