Chalkewadi about 30 Km from Satara, Maharashtra is a plateau pretty well known for its windmill farm.
The plateau is also home to the 'Fan Throated Lizard'. Apparently the windmills keep their natural predators (broadly raptors) off the area and nooks and crannies of volcanic rocks provide a decent shelter.
May-June is a good time to catch the male of the species with its bright colored dewlap.
