'A look at varied Indian cuisine - the best on planet earth, Part - 68' - shared by K J S Chatrath

 

Those of us who travel between Chandigarh  and Delhi  by road would remember having seen a number of dhabas outside the Ambala Cantt. railway station. They have different names but one part of the name is common and that is "Puran Singh". So you have "Puran Singh Ka Asli Dhaba', "Puran Singh Ka Mashoor Dhaba", "Puran Singh Ka Purana Dhaba'  etc. etc.

I tried this simple menu at one of these  dhabas sometimes back and I remember that food was tasty and light on the purse....

Today is the anniversary of the Armistice day, 11th November 1918, when fighting in the First World War officially stopped. I am collecting details of Indian soldiers and non-combatants who died in France after Armistice on 11th November 1918. Some one has to explain the reasons of their deaths long after fighting had stopped.  Here are a few Indian Syces (Horse groomers) who died after Armistice and who lie commemorated in Etaples Military Cemetery in France. Totally forgotten. Respectful salute to them. Devia; Syce; Syce Corps; Sehore Depot; Service number 1737; Died 11.3.1919; Death after Armistice on 11.11.1918; Commemorated in plot number XLIV A.11.

Arthuna- a cluster of gems waiting to be 'discovered' - by K J S Chatrath

  I was lucky to have visited Arthuna, located in Banswada district of Rajasthan early this week. I took a train up to Ratlam and from there Arthuna by excellent road is about 130 kms. The place is a gem for archaeology lovers waiting to be visited and written about.I am grateful to my facebook friend and a remarkable traveller and blogger Mr. Sabya Sachi Ghosh for getting me interested in visiting Arthuna. I look forward to soon meeting Mr. Ghosh in person.  Previously known as   Utthunaka, Arthuna was the capital of Paramara rulers of Vagada during eleventh-twelfth centuries A.D. They patronized both Jainism and Saivism simultaneously, so they constructed a number of Siva temples. An inscription of the Paramara prince Chamundaraja records that he built a temple of Siva called Mandalesa in honour of his father in A.D. 1079. Another inscription of A.D. 1080 mentions that his officer’s son named Anantapala also founded a temple of Siva.  In a group of temples known as Hanumangarhi i
