Introduction

As Kamat's Potpourri website grew (see timeline), we received more and more requests to publish articles on  lesser known towns and villages of India, and hence we are starting this never ending project of publishing stories and pictures of different towns and villages of India.

If you want your town listed here, please send us a note at .
