A physical meeting took place in Pune after a long time.So we were all very excited to meet each other.It didn’t rain in the morning and suddenly ,it started raining at the time of travel. Then we immediately put on a raincoat and moved on. We started journey on the old Pune Mumbai highway, there was huge traffic .

We reached the location where other local guides were already there. It was raining already so we moved to Tea shop because it was much more needed for us. After taking tea & clicking some pics we are moved to the base Location of Lord Ganesha Temple.

Paid parking is available there. We parked our vehicle & took the ticket , and placed the helmet there.

We check the accessibility of the place but it’s not accessible due to steps. We started trekking through stairs & clicking some pictures.

At the middle point of the stairs there was a free drinking water facility available. Then we climbed some steps & reached the idol of Lord Ganesha. We checked all the facilities there.

We click a group picture with a banner. Major missing @AjitThite dada

Host Abhishek shared details about lord Ganesha idol.

Amit da , Tushar dada share some tricks about google maps.

It’s already too late , we are so hungry & left for the famous hotel Rupesh Misal and Wadapav Center .

Being Sunday there was a bit of a wait as there were no tables down. Then we clicked photos. Got to the place within 5 minutes. We all order misal pav.

Tushar dada , Abhishek Share their Stickers & Badges to Everyone. Amit dada shared a new Accessibility sticker with us.

We clicked a group photo.

Then order served by waiter. Everyone started clicking pictures of Misal Pav by decorating it with stickers & badges.

We went for tea then played a trivia game there and enjoyed the game, attendees sign on meetup attendance sticker.

Tushar dada brought cake to celebrate Connect 8th birthday. then we group photos & Cut the cake. Cake was too Yummy.

[TusharSuradkar]

Oh, Wow!

The meetup recaps are getting better with each local guide.

Brilliant photos that capture the vibes of the place and the jubilant mood of the meetup, dear @ShubhamWaman

The photo collages are amazing

We had such a great time on a rainy morning at the feet of Ganapati Bappa.

Congratulations on winning the quiz - fantastic job

Hi @AjitThite

Shubham mentions that you designed the banner.

Brilliant idea of making the logo transparent when used in the banner

I struggled a lot with the logo size when including it in this banner of the Vitthal Temple.

I made the circles small so as not to cover any part of the temple.

But due to this, they became too small.

Now I can use larger logos with transparency

[ShubhamWaman]

Thank you so much for your kind words @Raj_Tayade ji.

[ShubhamWaman]

Thank you so much for your kind words @TusharSuradkar dada.

[ShubhamWaman]

Hello @TusharSuradkar dada

There are many tools on internet.

Just add photo then add another photo on it & set opacity of upper photo as you like.

Opacity is main factor behind it.

Awesome Recap @ShubhamWaman

Beautiful shots

I didn’t know there was a garden behind, might need to revisit it soon.!

[TusharSuradkar]

Thanks, dear @ShubhamWaman for the tip

Yes, I use a desktop computer like @AjitThite dada, and it has the transparency option that I use regularly.

But after looking at your banner made by Ajit, I got the idea of using transparency for our logos

[ShubhamWaman]

Thank you so much for your kind words @SaylliWalve1 .

It was closed when we visited last time.

Plz check & then visit.
