How to Reach Shegaon
I visited Shegaon and Anand Sagar. Both are very beautiful place.Shegaon is on the Mumbai CST - Nagpur - Howrah route by Railway. The closest township is Akola . Khamgaon is 20-25 minutes fom Shegaon and Hindustan Lever has put up its soap manufacturing plant here.
It is a Class B railway station and some trains which stop at Shegaon are :

5. Kolhapur - Pune - Nagpur Maharashtra express is for passengers travelling from Pune and Kolhapur.
6. Gitanjali express does not halt , but you can alight at Akola and take a bus / private vehicle to Shegaon and reach in 1 hour's time.
There are also luxury buses and State Transport buses which leave from Dadar and Mumbai Central for Mumbai residents. Once you reach Shegaon - its a great feeling,and Buses, Autos, cycle rickshaws are plenty.
There are a number of private hotels apart from the Sansthan run Bhakta Nivas , offering accomodation and Thursdays witness very heavy rush.
