aarosh, I think, is busy modding 'mongst the gods/mods and so is lost to us ordinary mortals.

How about Shodhgram, Gadchiroli? Can't pin down the building in the puzzle photo, but the gate in the later clue looks right, and I believe they have a tribal museum.

That's great hfot2 it is from Society For Education, Action and Research In Community Health

The building in the puzzle is in this complex. But no tourist normally visit this place, and normally those who are interested in this complex may not visit this particular area too.

Here's an easy one, not nearly so challenging as one of vinathorat's Impenetrables. It might actually stay up for five minutes – if aarosh isn't taking a break from modding, and if vaibhav isn't hiding yet another unfinished travelogue, and if some other player hasn't been there in the past two weeks, and if...

It's been a long five minutes' wait.

We're going to bed. Back in nine hours.

Someone might care to post another puzzle to keep things moving.

I would be delighted to do so if I could. But the thorn bushes were too thick to allow me to walk around it, so no photos from t'other side.

I believe that the ruined domed thingie in the foreground probably looked like the largely intact domed thingie in the background. Extrapolate.

wild guess- gwalior fort?


p.s. honestly, absolutely no idea where this could be, could be anywhere. Any clues? right state? If not, then Rajasthan (tad unlikely looking at the growth over the stones but post monsoon, possible)? In which case it could be Chittor fort.

Not Gwalior Fort, not Chittor Fort. Stick with MP.

Here's another shot, taken about 80 meters away, that should be just about as uninformative:

We must leave now for five or six hours. Someone may care to post a livelier puzzle while we're gone.

Good to see you back.

vaibhav, I think, had more the spirit of the place.

I guess it's time to give you something with a little more substance:

Bedtime notes:

I say MP, and I'm sticking by it. Google Maps agrees with me. Sometimes Wikipedia doesn't, but what do they know?

Here's another clue to spur you on (and confuse you further):

Signing off now for eight or nine hours. Others are encouraged to post some other puzzle.

Indeed, I was almost about to send a PM to aarosh yesterday wondering if he's actually traveling. The clue has managed to obfuscate things even further.

The jungle makes me think Bandhavargh.
The goats make me think Orchha ...
