Thanks to Arun Simha for suggesting this delightful book.
It is very interesting.. I feel ORGANIC INDIA should take a note from it..
many thanks for sharing you made my day.
यह पुस्तक एक बेहद विश्वसनीय दस्तावेज है जो ज्ञान का स्रोत तो है ही, हमें हमारी ही 'चीजों' के प्रति आश्वस्त करने का काम भी करती है |
Thank you RBSI for this book. Beautiful painting showing typical Maharashtrian lady wearing traditional" NAUWARI SARI " worshiping Tulsi plant in "Tulsi wrindawan".Even today it is a daily ritual for women in rural and semi-urban parts of Maharashtra to water and pray tulsi plant early in the morning.
