Because I shoot food-shows all over the country, I come across some incredible traditional kitchens and bartan. This is in a village in the mountains of Tons Valley in Garhwal. I love the kanse ke bartan. And just look at those two-ended tools in the last pic! Ingenious. 
Some more bartan from the same mountain village in the Tons Valley. Garhwal is where both the Ganga & Yamuna take birth, the Tons is the third great river that took birth there & believed to have - according to local myths, at one time, hit the plains and become the Saraswati.
Doing a thread on some really cool kitchens & vessels from around India. This beauty is a kitchen that’s about 200 years old, in a house sitting pretty in a mango orchards in Ratnagiri district, along the Konkan coast. Note the missing tiles in the roof doubling up as a chimney.
