from the fact that they have the same colour as that

 These trace their origin to the early 1800s and the Hanji community is
credited with their creation. Some specifically trace this phenomenon to
around the 1880s, to a shop-owner Naraindas, who used to cater to
foreign tourists and is said to have come up with this idea after his shop
was burnt down. However, the famous British explorer, Sir Francis
Younghusband, is known to have credited one MT Kennard with this idea
between the years 1883 and 1888.

Sahib’.There is a respectable lineage to the semi-cute, semi-hilarious

 This tradition originates from the ancient Ayurvedic practice of using pieces of
pearl and conch shell in bhasma (medicinal ash). Mentioned in several ancient
Sanskrit documents, particularly in Ayurvedic and medical literature, it is often
associated with swarna, tara and rupera, usually in three forms namely patra,
varaka and bhasma. Considered as an anti-microbial astringent, the alternate
version is claimed to be an aphrodisiac.This tradition is not unique to Indian
subcontinent as it also traces its origins to Europe, where later studies found
that they can indeed be anti-bacterial owing to the oligodynamic effect.
 Concerns have been raised about the ethical acceptibility due to the usage of
Ox-gut, which led to the decline of its implementation among the Hindu and
Jain community. Indian Airlines avoided this practice with its automisation since
2016 by the GOI, that created employment issues.
 What attractive tradition is this?
 In 1903, Neils Frinsen was awarded the Nobel Prize for his therapy that cured

had links with the lower classes about the 1920s. Shortly thereafter, fashion
designer Coco Chanel accidentally had to go through _______ while visiting
French Riviera, which soon turned out to be a trend owing to her status and the
longing for her lifestyle by other members of the society.
 In 1910 a scientific expedition went to the island ofTenerife to test the wider
benefits of this activity and by 1913 it was referred to as a desirable activity for
the leisured class.

a symbol of ‘refinement’ are we referring to?
 Port Hercule is the only deep-water port in a certain European
Country.The modern avatar of the port came up in 1926 and
covers almost 40 acres, enough to provide anchorage to 700
vessels.
 The port sees a surge in the number of visiting vessels, usually
yachts, in May every year.These boats stay put for 4-5 days,
hosting parties at night. A variety of hospitality packages exist,
with the average admission price for the duration ranging from
$2,000-20,000.
 What is the reason for these annual visits?
 Designed in mix ofVictorian and Colonial architecture with a hint of Art
Deco style by architect, F.B.Blomfield, this structure was built by S.B.S
Ranjit Singh. Restored by its General Manager andVice President, Mr
Harvinder Sekhon, between 1996 and 2001, it hosted the Queen of
Netherlands and Hollywood actors and actresses.
 It even houses six restaurants and bars which are called "Spice Route",
"Patiala Peg Bar", "1911 Restaurant and Bar", "DaniellsTavern" and "San
Gimignano“.The well-known Patiala Peg bar has its own legacy and
heritage as it acted as the venue for a certain landmark decision.

 Qn 14 – Qn 20 : +20/-10
 In Ancient Greece, most Athenian houses had a symposium, an
annexed, circular room, which held a number of upholstered
podiums set against the walls where guests lay prone and played
kottabos.The floors were sloped to make cleaning easier.The
most common variant had recumbent players attempt to topple a
precariously balanced cup (or plastinx) by filling it.They had to do
this by flinging ____ from their own cups, using their right hand
only. Players would call out the name of an intended paramour
and the outcome would foretell their pursuit of love.
 This is considered to be one of the ancient versions of which
ritual/tradition?
 Additionally, it contains a compound called Saltpetre, which is one
of the three major ingredients in gunpowder.Thus, after
extraction, it was mixed with Charcoal and Sulphur to make
gunpowder, a necessity in warfare after the advent of gun.
 And this was one of the main reasons behind a decree of the 18th
century that resulted into guards being posted at the sites to
enforce the edict.
 What potent warfare compound is this?What decree was passed?
 If you were to purchase one of these items, on the package would be a
note explaining how to dissolve them in a gallon of water.Then right
below it, the note would continue with a warning instructing you not to
leave that jug in the cool cupboard for 21 days.That warning was in fact a
key to escape a monumental decision of the 1920s that had loopholes in
terms of domestic point of view.
 Besides the “warning,” the makers were very open about what they knew
their product was to be used for, even including the flavors – such as
Burgundy, Claret and Riesling – one might encounter if not followed the
instructions carefully.
 What items are we talking about?
 Inside the Naya Qila portion of the Golconda Fort is something
locals call haathiyan ka jhaad because it looks like a group of
elephants huddled together. It is said to be 400 to 600 years old.
This is not something you would expect to find here and it was
supposedly a gift to Sultan Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah from
visitingArab traders or fakirs. It is endemic to another continent,
but this one is the largest of its kind in India. So large in fact that it
is rumoured to have once been the hiding place for 40 thieves.
 What is this haathiyan ka jhaad ?
 This term originates from the Neapolitan Dialect spoken in
Campania and derives its name from a method of working
which means “to cut off”. First mentioned in 1570 by
Bartolomeo Scappi, it received the “Protected Designation of
Origin” certification by the European Union in 1998.
 What term is this, which is associated with a 12th century
monk Saint Lorenzo and some believe that this term
originates from the place where his Monastery was situated.
 The Dresden Frauenkirche (also known as Church of Our Lady) is a Lutheran church in
Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony which was destroyed by the allied
forces in 1945.The church, though withstood two days of the attacks and supported the
evacuation of 300 people before finally collapsing on 15 Feb.
 However, in 1989, a 14-member group of enthusiasts headed by Ludwig Guttler formed a
citizen’s initiative to promote the church’s reconstruction. Using original plans from
builder Georg Bahr in the 1720s, the council decided to proceed with reconstruction in
1992.
 As far as possible, the church – except for its dome – was rebuilt using original material
and plans, with the help of modern technology.The heap of rubble was documented and
carried off stone by stone. But, when it came time to duplicate the oak doors of the
entrance, the builders had only vague descriptions of the detailed carving.
 What innovative method, taking inspiration from a certain custom/fad/habbit or ritual
did they use to make the oak doors?
 Because people (especially wedding
parties) often posed for photos
outside the church doors, they
issued an appeal for old
photographs and the response—
which included entire wedding
albums—allowed artisans to
recreate the original doors.
 This 10 Km long defensive line was built during the SecondWorld
War between Bassins and Prangins, in the canton ofVaud. These
defensive blocks, commonly found in border areas were mainly
set up to stop tanks.
 The line was built along twelve fortresses, the most well known
being the “Villa Rose”, which was transformed into a museum and
opened to the public in 2006.
 Since, the line has been left to nature since its construction, it was
decided to make a hiking trail along their route. Owing to its
resemblance to dragon teeth, how do we better know it?
 The Final one in our line up!
