In Pune, Maharashtra, India, I attended my first connect photowalk meet-up at Birla Ganesh Temple, Somatane Phata, Pimpri-Chinchwad. It was an incredible experience.

My photo at Birla Ganesh Temple
As Local guides, we utilized the time for socializing, taking photos at the temple, playing quizzes, sharing breakfast together and sharing cool goodies.
This temple contains a magnificent idol of Lord Ganesha. Located amidst lush greenery, the temple provides a tranquil setting for worship. I had a great time meeting all the local guides.

It’s a delightful local culinary experience to have breakfast at Rupesh Misal and Wadapav Center. Given the quality and taste of the food, the prices are reasonable and offer great value for money.
At
Saileela, we shared tea and played a quiz together. In honor of Connect’s 8th birthday, we had a cake cutting.
Can’t wait for the next meetup 
Thank you @abhishekpatk for hosting this meetup. @TusharSuradkar Thanks for connecting me with Pune’s local guides. @NERKARAMIT Your goodies were truly innovative. Thanks for sharing.
