Kanheri caves
! HAPPY 75th INDEPENDENCE DAY INDIA !
Between a rock and a hard place. The Kanheri caves.
The Kanheri
Caves are a group of caves and rock-cut monuments cut into a massive basalt
outcrop in the forests of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, on the former island
of Salsette in the western outskirts of Mumbai, India. They contain Buddhist
sculptures and relief carvings, paintings and inscriptions, dating from the 1st
century CE to the 10th century CE. Kanheri comes from the Sanskrit Krishnagiri,
which means black mountain. Wikipedia.

No Parking
Two signs on a pole in the Bandra Kurla Complex. The 1st one says you can't park here and the 2nd one tells you where to park and at what cost. Smart advertising for a Pay and Park.

Areca nut
Bunch of Areca nuts on the Areca palm in Bandra east.
The areca nut is the seed of the areca palm, which grows in
much of the tropical Pacific (Melanesia and Micronesia), Southeast and South
Asia, and parts of east Africa. It is commonly referred to as betel nut. The
term areca originated from the Malayalam word aá¹aykka and dates back to the
16th century when Dutch and Portuguese sailors took the nut from Kerala to
Europe. Areca nuts are chewed with betel leaf for their effects as a mild
stimulant. Wikipedia
