First Glimpse of Budheli:Budheli was small but beautiful village. Hilly view of Aravali and small water stream abulated scenic beauty of village.The village was full of beautifully built temples.The picture shows me walking on the well built permanent road and in the background temple is also of concrete, tall and strong like the faith of cheerful people of small Budheli.
