Neha Vaidya writes about this photograph: "We managed to find time and visit my native place Guhgar in Ratnagiri district. The sole purpose was to enjoy the king of Fruits - the Alphonso mango. So we selected the midweek of May -- the peak season for the harvest and visited it."

Guhagar, she writes, 'has a very long strech of beach and really untouched and cleaner as it is a bit further south of Alibaug'.
