नववर्षाच्या पहिल्या दिवशीच मी मित्रवर्य लक्ष्मण खोब्रागडे यांचे सोबत जूनासुर्ला आणि गडीसुर्ला या दोन गावाला भेटी दिल्या. या दोन्ही गावाचे नाव खूप वर्षापासून ऐकत होतो पण काल येथे जाण्याचा योग आला. चंद्रपूर जिल्ह्यातील मूल तालुक्याच्या ठिकाणांपासून पूर्वेस अवघ्या १२ किलोमीटर अंतरावर असलेल्या या दोन्ही गावाचे महत्व भौगोलिकदृष्ट्या आणि प्राचीन वास्तुकलांचे दृष्टीने मोठे आहे. गडीसुर्ला
