Sangli

The Natya Pandhari of Maharashtra, Sangli is home to notable names from the marathi drama, music, cinema and even politics. Sangli’s bhadang, a snack made of puffed rice is popular not just in India, but is exported to multiple countries across the globe. The cultural festivals, folk art like Lavani and its deep association with Indian freedom struggle and politics is what makes Sangli a vibrant city. Apart from this, Sangli is an economic powerhouse, with thriving industries like the Bharat Forge Ltd., a global leader in metal forming solutions. It is also popular for grape farming, and turmeric farming.
