Karad has its own unique character in terms of its rich cultural past and the modernity of recent times that has shaped it into an upcoming education center.

Its glorious past dates back to the rule of the 'Aundh Sansthan' well before the country gained its independence from the British Raj.

Karad is situated at the meeting point of two major rivers of Maharashtra, Krishna and Koyana.These rivers originate at the same point on the western ghats and intersect each other at an angle of 180 degrees to meet at Karad.
