Jawhar’s Artists Turn (Sk)Inward

Apart from being a day-long picnic spot near Jawhar hill station, the Khadkhad dam site is not otherwise, considered a tourist attraction of historical significance. Built in 2010, the dam and its backwaters in Dhaparpada have a raw appeal, as against the charm of spruced up locations. But what Khadkhad lacks in vintage value, it makes up as an emerging green vantage spot for Warli art lovers, mostly visitors from Mumbai, Pune, Nashik and Surat, who want the native Warli art motifs tattooed on their bodies.
