Incredibly, there have never been (reported) cases of deadly snake bites from any villagers.

Or should we say it's a gorgeous coating? A serving of potatoes, marsala rice and lentil pancakes only costs around $0.50 each. However, the restaurant's patrons can opt for a Dosha painted with 24 carats of gold leaf on it, which costs 40 times the price of its own dish. #History##Headline History##See the Bigger World##印度 #
