SARNI is one of the most beautiful place of Madhya  Pradesh. And it is also second largest Municipal Area of Madhya Pradesh. Sarni is small place with a population of 100,099. Sarni is the very beautiful city which is surrounded by Satpura mountains.

SARNI is especially famous for Satpura Thermal Power Plant. Sarni is home to the largest power plant in Madhya Pradesh. It is contributing to approximately 80% of the total electricity supply of Madhya Pradesh. It's total capacity is 1142.5 megawatts.The construction work for the new 500 megawatts has already started and almost completed. And one more of 600 megawatts is about to begin.

When I go to my home, I always say to  my dad  to visit   the power plant once in a week. I love to see all huge big machines , how coal is transferring through conveyor belt . It all looks so amazing.The chimneys and cooling towers is just marvelous. Here are some pictures of old plant and the new one.

  

The Satpura lake has a beautiful sitting surrounded by dense forest and hills.The serpentine road traverses through a local hillock to reach the lake and is the favorite  jogging track for the local  populace.

Another popular place is Satpura Dam. The Dam  is the best tourist spot during the monsoon when routine opening of the gates to control water levels result in a waterfall like environment filled with mist. A guest house is also located at an adjoining hillock giving an unhindered view of lake. 

Here are some beautiful pictures of Dam and surroundings :)

Whenever my guests visit my town, we always take them to  Dam once. It is fabulous  in during monsoon season. It is a beautiful  picnic spot ,whatever its a family picnic or friends picnic we always visit to Dam where we cook on the fired wood, we cook maggie , pakoras with special tea. And the best part is camp fire . Oh yeah ! :D we used to dance ,play damsharas and antakshri. Must say great place to visit once .

Sarni is place of  temples. The one of the most conspicuous sites of sarni is Shiva temple overlooking the town from the Mathardev peak, which is the highest point approximately 3,500 ft(1,100m from the sea level) among neighboring hills of the Satpura ranges .

The path to a peak is a steep trek climbing two hills, it takes approximately 35-40 minutes of continuous climb at walking pace to reach tha top.

A distinct feature of Sarni is an annual week-long fair on the festival of Makar Sankranti in the month of January. The fair was first started in 1978 by a group of followers of Mathardev who started a project to create a shrine in order to organize and institutionalize the visitors. Since then it has become an annual affair.

The fair is a treat to senses with its beautiful sights, sounds and smells. Traders across the region come to the fair to sell a multitude of goods including religious items, artifacts, ornaments, clothes, toys, simple household goods, etc. Several acrobats, snake charmers, musicians and other artists attract crowd by displaying their talents. And many fair on Durgapooja Fair in Bengoli Tempal at Pathakhera.

Other than Mathardev Temple there are also Sai baba temple, Jain temple, beautifully designed mosque , gurudwara, churches and famous Shri Ram temple.
