Where Was This Photo Taken? (2)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Saw the signboard and pursued what I could see on it, but ended up on MI Road at JKJ and Sons.

As to exploring quite a bit, this is piffling. We much prefer exploring back streets and the stuff in between the monuments to the monuments themselves. Blundered into this area, which is heavy on jewelers, because we fondly remembered finding on an earlier trip the district where everyone is boiling milk for khoya, guys running around with twenty kilo loads of the stuff on their heads, and that sorta stuff.

If you find yourself in Johari Bazaar some day buying wedding finery, you might want to step out of the bustle for a few minutes and look this temple up – it's quite a curiosity. Thanks again from both of us.

Puzzle solved.

The 'heavy on jewelers' is this road while the heavy on gemstones is one on the same side of Jauhari bazaar a street to the left, gopalji ka rasta. Opposite that is the street that has smaller jewlery shops and that is also the street where everyone's boiling milk - haldiyon ka rasta. The same street turns into a kite seller's market around sankranti (frankly, they start stocking kites immediately after deepawali, prior to which they're stocking fire crackers).

The street opposite the one where you took this photograph is called Gheewalon ka rasta and does stock wedding finery. We did buy some wedding finery from a shop at the mouth of that street last year but when you buy wedding finery in Jaipur, you buy wedding finery in Jaipur. (see how the amount of space on the street permits leisurely exploration) !



Thank you for putting this up. Very nice.

A bump to revive the thread.

Should take all of five minutes.

The five minutes have come and gone, and no one's posted a guess, despite some twenty-five people viewing the puzzle. Perhaps you need a clue. OK,

@ vionathorat –

distaff just found your #14550,which I had missed due to cross-posting and page changes.

We are curious what the object is. If it were a Christian artefact, I'd reckon it to be some kind of retable, or a household shrine. Is it some sort of temple doorway?

Good morning, Mother India! (Well, it's morning here in VT.)

The lack of activity on #14553 suggests either that you have real lives elsewhere to occupy your attention, or that you need a further clue.

Ah, I can hear your brains clicking away all the way over here across the Great Pond. Or is that snoring I hear?


And for any newbies who happen to be about (oldies need no reminders):

hfot2 Is it from Dungarpur and talking about a medium pace bowler?

May not be a temple doorway.

On the 'L' passage of the ground floor at the entrance have been arranged the artistically decorated doors and windows along with their panels and brackets with proper settings on the wall, so that one gets the impression of being just in front of the then existing house from where the particular doors have been collected. The stone sculptures displayed here along the wall
unmistakeably appeal to the aesthetic sense of the visitor.

See THIS

Is it in Karnataka (Bangalore)? And the bowler that you are talking about, is he an actor from Hollywood?

The background looks like Dhyanchand stadium (or the national stadium, new delhi)

DhyanChand took off his shoes in the '36 berlin olympics match.

Hockey players do strut around with Canes. Yes, I was busy eating the finest 'chaat' Jaipur has to offer over the weekend (ooh my stomach hurts after just three sessions - two dinners and a lunch of nothing but chaat.

Oh you bet. Hence I'm going to ignore that moustache point totally. Btw, third clue - all of which are technically correct but completely useless (a bit like rahul dravid's shots) - or were you just getting desparate?

Now, this doesnt gel with Cricket strictly and Vinathorat may well be right but it was worth a try.

Finally, some signs of life!

Sorry, no. You have somehow gotten the idea that this puzzle is about cricket. I can't think how.

It is not in Karnataka. The place is indeed named after an actor from (among other places) Hollywood. But the bowler I am talking about is not an actor per se.

Your thoughts are obviously the product of a distressed brain – which puts you right on track toward sorting these clues. Except you're not right on several counts: 'tain't Dhyanchand Stadium; the shoes stay mostly on (except, I think, for one memorable sequence, but they may not be his there. I can't remember); 'tain't hockey; 'tis moustache.

You are however right that it isn't Cricket (nor Jello either).

So you mean he is a composer, director along with being an actor?

Do you mean on TV or personally?

Is the puzzle place a cinema hall / theater?

Would I be right in saying 'Where is Brishti, when we need her'?

Yeah. And writer and activist and acquaintance of The Mahatma and according to some a persona non grata in USA (which, considering who those "some" were, may be a very good recommendation).

Well, not personally, as he's very dead. But not quite on what I'd call TV either, though certainly on a TV screen.

It is not, though there is (or at least till recently was – I don't know the present state of play) one close by.

You would.

Would I be right in saying brishti is an ingrate who ignores her PM's?

Are we talking about Charlie Chaplin and some where in Kolkata?
