Dishes such as poli, pitla, rasa vaangi and daangar were introduced to Thanjavur by Bhonsles whose royal kitchen prepared many delectable delicacies. The Royal Cuisine from the Kitchen of the Bhonsles of Thanjavur is specially curated by Smt.

Maharashtra Sanskritik Diwas
Dr. Prakash Amte – The Real Hero
(137 min; 2014; Marathi with English subtitles)
Director: Samruddhi Porey
With Nana Patekar, Sonali Kulkarni, Mohan Agashe
Young Prakash graduates as a Bachelorette in Medicine. Instead of settling down to a comfortable city life along with his wife Manda, they both moved to a most backward area of Maharashtra. From government apathy to Naxal threats, from US Visa refusal on account of financial issues relating to civilian honour Padmashree…the film is an incredible true story of hope, courage and compassion
(Collaboration: Maharashtra Sanskritik ani Rannaniti Adhyayan Samiti)
