During the evening hours, we passed nearby Danghati Mandir and stopped Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark – the motorbike at ‘Giriraj Misthan Bhandar’ to have Samosa.
Cost – Rs. 15/- per piece. Tasty for sure.
Sadhus Meditating – This photo was taken at Kedarnath, Kaman in Bharatpur (Rajasthan).
During ‘Braj Chaurasi Kos Yatra‘ Kedarnath is one of the most important temples for devotees. One has to climb approx. 300 stairs to reach the temple to offer prayers.
Don’t Ask History Nephew
After spending three hours at Keoladeo National Park in Bharatpur (Rajasthan), I was feeling hungry. I decided to visit Sharma Misthan Bhandar – A Traditional Sweets and Namkeen Shop near the Laxman temple famous for Hot Samosa during the evening hours. I requested one Samosa. Spicy it was but fabulous and any sweet was an urgent requirement. I requested one Gujiya – my personal favorite.
In short, I prefer traditional shops, and having Gujiya during Holi (festival of colors) time or any other time has its own fun.

When Gandhi ji returned from South Africa in January 1915, Ahmedabad was chosen as his second home, because according to him, this Porbandar was no longer Rajkot or his caste. He first established the Satyagraha-Ashram at Kochrab near Ahmedabad on 25 May 1915 and then at Sabarmati Ashram across the Sabarmati River.
In 1919, the publication of weekly magazines ‘Navjeevan‘ and Young India started under his editorship from Ahmedabad. Now Navjeevan Trust has been established here.
Gandhi ji laid the foundation of Gujarat Vidyapeeth here in November 1920. In December 1921, at a Congress session, he was given full leadership rights at the Ahmedabad session.
He was tried in the sessions court at Ahmedabad for the crime of sedition and was sentenced to six years imprisonment on March 18, 1922. He resided at the Sabarmati Ashram and from there on March 12, 1930, he set out for his historic Dandi March for the Salt Satyagraha.
