A blog that captures the happenings in Maharashtra and rest of the Marathi World (Bruhanmaharashtra) through the eyes of a 3M – Madhyamvargiya Marathi Manoos (Middleclass Marathi Man). Neither is it a view of the anglicized minority which has lost touch with its roots... nor does it speak for the Marathi masses who may lack the “worldview”. Just a somewhere-in-between viewpoint… but a firm viewpoint indeed!

Papier mache turban, Pune (Poona), ca.1865.
This hat is identifiable by its flat, three-cornered
shape and gold wiry loops criss-crossing it. These are traces of the rolled
turban-cloth that would form a network over the original type of Maratha
turban. This hat would have been worn by a boy or young man of the upper
classes. This flat angular style was popular in Central India and to the east
of Poona where this one orginated.
