Event Description : "Lost Culinary Gems: The Bania Repertoire" An interactive panel discussion with members of the distinguished Bania families of Delhi.
Followed by wedding and childbirth songs, a Bania tradition by “Misrani” women and an audiovisual presentation on Ugrasen ki Baoli and the old Havelis.
The Bania or the Vaishaya, representing the trading community have contributed a great deal to shape the unique identity of Delhi. Descendants of Maharaja Agrasen, the forefather to the Agarwal community, they find mention in the Epic Mahabharata and their presence is registered in historical chronicles and travelers accounts till modern times. Seths translated as noble rich conscious of their social obligations have built temples, dharmashalas and step wells such as Ugrasen ki Baoli in the heart of Delhi's Connaught Place, endowed educational institutions, patronised arts and provided succor to the needy in turbulent times. The idea is to explore their fascinating history through shared memories and traditions related to food.
What is worth remarking is that the Bania are not a monolithic community. This segment of population comprises many colourful strands - Agarwal, Goel, Gupta, Mittal and Jain immigrants thousands of years ago from the kingdom/District of Agroha all sharing the code of strict vegetarian meals proudly maintain the primacy of their clan or kinship legacy
This is the first in a series of curated programmes and meals by Dr. Pushpesh Pant and Ms Babso Kanwar, exploring the various communities that have shaped the cultural identity of the Capital, much like the secret spices in a master dish, each one bringing in it's own distinctive aroma and taste
The dinners are open to members of IIC and will showcase a representative selection of the lost gems - family recipes that go beyond the clichés.
