| Minutes of Meeting | The traditional game known by various names like Bhondla, Bhulabai, Hadga has a distinct identity in the cultural world of Maharashtra. All ladies and girls gather on the occasion of this game. In the month of Ashwin, when the sun enters Hasta Nakshatra, the Navratri festival begins. And at that time this game is played. An image of an elephant is drawn on the board using grain or rice and decorated with flowers and rangoli next to it. Folk songs are sung and then Khirapat is recognized and enjoyed. Bhondala was celebrated by all the Ans and Women Rotarians before the weekly meeting of the club on Wednesday 25th October. At the end of the program the best dressed Ans were given a special prize. In the weekly meeting of 25 Oct. 2023, Mr. Subodh Chitale who is from Thane, presented a monologue act from the popular Marathi writer and dramatist P.L. Presented. This program was an "Entertainment Booster" . This act is an autobiography of an ordinary clerk Dhondo living in Girgaon named Bhikaji Kadamdekar Joshi.
