Every region has their own food culture that was developed over the years with careful thought and consideration of all factors that influence health and well being. Eating raw grains during winter is a culture in most parts of India. Raw chickpeas, pigeon peas, jowar, wheat are some tender greens eaten during the Indian winter. Tender Jowar pearls are rich in nutrients, have a nutty and sweet taste, and has a cooling effect on your system. A mixture of raw green wheat and green jowar (sorghum) grains with rock salt and a dash of lime juice sold as a snack by a street vendor. Respects to all those who hull these delicate pearly grains!

Scene depicting Ravana lifting Mount Kailasa (also called Ravananugrahamurti) sculpted on red sandstone on a pediment on the east-facing door of the 10th-century Cambodian temple, Banteay Srei. Siva is seated on the summit of Mount Kailāsa along with Parvati on his lap anxiously clinging on. Ascetics, mythological figures, lions, deer, and other animals are also arranged in three rows below Siva and Parvati. Below, in the middle of the scene, sits Rāvaṇa wearing a strained expression on his face, holding Mount Kailasa by its base and shaking it. Animals flee from his presence. The depiction of this scene is very rarely found in Indian paintings and sculptures also. A few instances are found in Ellora cave 16 (Kailasa cave) and Cave 29, Tiruvannamalai, Belur, Halebidu, and Pattadakkal. Interestingly, in the Cambodian version, Ravana's heads are vertically stacked on top while in Indian versions they are horizontally distributed. The Kailasa cave at Ellora was built two centuries (8th century) before Bantaey Srei, and Belur and Halebidu temples during 12th century. Centuries and oceans apart but connected by a common mythology and architecture. #templearchitecture #pediment #cambodia #shiva #mountkailash #mountkailasa #ravana #ravananugrahamurti #tympanum #mythology #sculpture #banteaysrei #bantaysrei
