Devnagri script. This is essentially an alphabet rather than a text, probably for earlier stages of learning. My son informs me that It's been there since 1997 and somehow preserved.

Islam arrived in Azerbaijan with Arabs in the seventh century, gradually supplanting Zoroastrianism and Azerbaijani pagan cults. In the seventh and eighth centuries, many Zoroastrians fled Muslim persecution and moved to India, where they became known as Parsis. Until Soviet Bolsheviks ended the practice, Zoroastrian pilgrims from India and Iran traveled to Azerbaijan to worship at sacred sites, including the Ateshgah Temple in Surakhany on the Apsheron Peninsula.
LISTEN TO THE exciting address delivered by Vinayak Naik, Editor in Chief, Goa Today monthly magazine, who was the chief guest at the distribution of the Dalgado Awards 2013 function organised by the Dalgado Konknni Akademi at the Kala Academy in Panjim, Goa, on March 6, 2014. Naik launched a stinging attack on the proponents of Devnagri Konknni who have done everything possible to subjugate Romi Konknni despite being the sole community to keep Konkani alive by speaking, writing, singing, acting and praying in it consistently for centuries.

Portrait of Mahatma Gandhi in black & white- snapped from a Currency Note.
The central banks the world over bring in some change in the design of their bank notes. This is primarily to make counterfeiting difficult. India also follows the same policy.
Rs.10, Rs.20, Rs.50 and Rs.100 notes issued earlier and which are still in circulation contain the Ashoka Pillar watermark and Ashoka Pillar effigy. The Rs.500 notes issued earlier i.e. since 1987 bear the Ashoka Pillar watermark and the Mahatma Gandhi portrait. The Reserve Bank is now issuing bank notes in Mahatma Gandhi series. This means that the notes contain Mahatma Gandhi watermark as well as Mahatma Gandhi's portrait. The Rs.5 notes re-introduced in August 2001 also bear the Ashoka Pillar watermark and Ashoka Pillar effigy. All these notes issued by the Bank are legal tender.
The new Mahatma Gandhi series of notes contain several special features vis-à-vis the notes issued earlier. These are:
i) Security thread: Rs.10, Rs.20 and Rs.50 notes contain a readable but fully embedded security windowed security thread. Rs.100, Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes contain a readable windowed security thread. This thread is partially exposed and partially embedded. When held against light, this thread can be seen as one continuous line. Other than on Rs.1000 notes, this thread contains the words 'Bharat' in the devnagri script and 'RBI' appearing alternately. The security thread of the Rs.1000 note contains the inscription 'Bharat' in the devnagri script, '1000' and 'RBI'. Notes issued earlier have a plain, non-readable fully embedded security thread.
ii) Latent Image: A vertical band behind on the right side of the Mahatma Gandhi’s portrait, which contains a latent image, showing the denominational value 20, 50, 100, 500 or 1000 as the case may be. The value can be seen only when the note is held on the palm and light allowed to fall on it at 45° ; otherwise this feature appears only as a vertical band.
iii) Microletterings: This feature appears between the vertical band and Mahatma Gandhi portrait. It contains the word ‘RBI’ in Rs.10. Notes of Rs.20 and above also contain the denominational value of the notes. This feature can be seen better under a magnifying glass.
iv) Identification mark: A special intaglio feature has been introduced on the left of the watermark window on all notes except Rs.10/- note. This feature is in different shapes for various denominations (Rs.20-Vertical Rectangle, Rs.50-Square, Rs.100-Triangle, Rs.500-Circle, Rs.1000-Diamond) and helps the visually impaired to identify the denomination.
v) Intaglio Printing: The portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, Reserve Bank seal, guarantee and promise clause, Ashoka Pillar Emblem on the left, RBI Governor's signature are printed in intaglio i.e. in raised prints in Rs.20, Rs.50, Rs.100, Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes.
vi) Fluorescence: The number panels of the notes are printed in fluorescent ink. The notes also have optical fibres. Both can be seen when the notes are exposed to ultra-violet lamp.
vii) Optically Variable Ink: The numeral 500 & 1000 on the Rs.500 [revised colour scheme of mild yellow, mauve and brown] and Rs.1000 notes are printed in Optically Variable Ink viz., a colour-shifting ink. The colour of these numerals appear green when the notes are held flat but would change to blue when the notes are held at an angle.

This loco has been transferred to TKD from ASN. The word "Asansol" in Devnagri script can be seen above the right buffer.
This temple is marvelous example of the fine art of carving sculptures out of stones that prevailed in ancient India. It is about 16 m high from its base. Around this temple there a few caves & ancient water tanks. The river Mangal Ganga is said to originate from one of the tanks located close to the temple. These are built by well-finished arranging stones one on top of the other. There are three main caves near the temple. The cisterns near the temple provide drinking water. A short distance away, another temple called Kashitirtha is located. The fascinating thing about this temple is that it has been carved out from a "single huge rock". There are entrances from all four sides. On the main entrance there are sculptures of faces. These are faces of guards of the temple. On the left side of the entrance is a Devnagri inscription, which is about saint Changdev.
Artist: Sujata Achrekar
Sujata Achrekar is well known for her paintings of faces – faces of the 'Brahmin Brahmacharis'. Her bold rendering of the faces, along with exceptionally bright colors and skillful use of 'Devnagri' letters, have made her works very striking. Traditionally known as the priestly class, the Brahmin takes on a different connotation in Sujata's paintings. Her definition of a Brahmin is “he who knows himself”. He is depicted as a serene stoic figure, eyes hooded, dominating the canvas. She has a natural inclination for meditation and spirituality and this reflects in her works. Sujata has also taught at the prestigious Sir J.J. School of Art.

Zake is a pioneer of Mumbai’s graffiti scene. Tagging walls with his bag of spray paints, the city is his canvas. Graffiti artists are usually inconsistent and imitative, but Zake is highly promising and has benefited from the media exposure street art gets in Mumbai. A fine arts student, his constant experimentation has created an Indian style of graffiti. The European influences in terms of style are visible, but his work employs Indian scripts, such as Devnagri. The faces will be of celebrities populating pop culture. This contextualising of art is particularly important for graffiti, since it is the only form of art freely accessible to all people to experience.
Hip Hop Homeland is the most in-depth look yet at the burgeoning Indian underground hip hop scene. A series of raw, gritty profiles about a fast emerging youth trend, Hip Hop Homeland covers the growth of hip hop movement in Mumbai, spanning the entire scope of hip hop subculture - from rap to other forms of self-expression like dance and visual art. This new trend is coming through the slums and the chawls, and the rappers covered in the series speak in a street ‘bhasha’ that draws on local languages.
