Lodhia Kund, a popular tourist attraction
Notably, Lodhia Kund and Fall is a tourist place near Indore which attracts many tourists during the monsoon season. At the same time, such places also become dangerous during the rainy season if one doesn’t stay alert. Earlier in July, two youths were reported dead in separate incidents after they fell into Mohadi Waterfall, another famous tourist destination near the city.
