#MahaShivaratri Among historical temples in #Pune, those dedicated to Mahadev Shankar have the highest count, next to Maruti shrines. Over forty Mahadev deities have been blessing Pune over 200 years. Mahadev is also at other major temples of other deities. A thread 1/n
#Nageshwar at Somwar Peth is believed to be among the oldest temples in Pune. The temple was renovated in late 1700s and later a few decades ago. 2/n
#Vruddheshwar at Shivajinagar near Bal Gandharva was earlier the village of Bhambavde. Was considered a prominent deity then. 3/n
Story of 400m culinary journey - #Pune is the cultural capital of Maharashtra and Mandai the capital of Pune. An enthusiastic group, we walked around just within a 400m radial distance to explore the variety, and ate to our hearts and stomach's content. #KnowPune Thread 1/11
The first stop was Mandai itself – Baldev Prasad Gupta. For the small sized shop you can get an amazing variety – pohe/upma, pulav, puri-bhaji, samosa, vada and much more. My fav is the large jilebi – thick and plump, soft inside yet crunchy (not hard) on the outside. 2/11
Green Bakery is known to all Punekars. While bread and bakery is its staple, since many decades it has been selling crunchy patti samosa. The recipe of the filling has changed over the years as regulars may vouch. The samosas still have retained their crunch. 3/11
#Varanasi the #Marathi footprint - The thread shares some info about the history & contribution of Marathi people to Kashi. The Maratha Empire's aim over generations was to liberate Kashi however it could not fructify for various reasons at different ties. #Kashi#मराठी
Sant Eknath (1533-1599) believed to have written the Bhagwat in front of 'Sakshi' Gopal murti, presently at the Tailangswami Mutth. Eknath Maharaj is believed to have stayed at the Panchaganga Ghat for about two years.
Many Marathi families have made Varanasi their home over a few centuries. Some families believe that their forefathers arrived when Shivaji Maharaj's helped to resurrect the Bindu Madhav Temple destroyed by Aurangzeb. Since mid 1800s the Pant Pratinidhi have supported the temple.
This thread is about Blue Plaques at #Pune buildings where prominent personalities resided or were born. I noted these during my wanderings in the Shukrawar, Shaniwar, Budhwar Peth areas, plaques from other parts of Pune will be included in subsequent thread #KnowPune#BluePlaque
Damu Dhotre (b 1902 at Pune d 1973) was a circus artist and animal trainer of repute internationally. He performed not only in India but also in Europe and the United States with the best circuses. This #Blueplaque is at his residence in Pune at Subhash Nagar, Shukrawar Peth.
Behind the Mamledar Kacheri in Shukrawar Peth is the residence of Guruvarya Baburao Jagtap. Noted educationist who nurtured Shri Shivaji Maratha School. He was associated with Prarthana Samaj and was also elected Mayor of Pune. #BluePlaque
श्री मनाचे श्लोक (Shree Manache Shlok) have been composed by Samarth Ramdas Swami (1608-1681) great spiritual Guru and ascetic. Born as Narayan Suryajipant Thosar his other works include Sarth Shrimat Dasbodh, The Maruti Stotra, famous Ganesh Aarti – Sukhakarta Dukhaharta.
The Manache Shlok means – Conversations For The Mind. The compilation of 205 shlok of 4 lines each is written in classical #मराठी Marathi. Those who know Hindi/Sanskrit may understand shlok. The thread is not a complete or authoritative discussion but quotes a few as examples.
The content is predominantly about bhakti to the God and simplified philosophy. Aspects of stories from from the scriptures, good social behaviours, ethics and the acceptance of the worldly truths have also found discussion in the various shlok.
