Karad City

          Karad is a city in Satara district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It lies at the confluence of "Koyna River" and the "Krishna River". They diverge at their origin, and travel for about the same distance to meet again in Karad. The rivers meet exactly headon, thus forming letter "T". Their confluence is called "Preeti Sangam", meaning Confluence of Love. It is well known for sugar production and is known as the sugar bowl of Maharashtra owing to the presence of many sugar factories in and around it. It is known for its rich and prestigious educational institutes such as Government College of Engineering, Government College of Pharmacy and the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences.
