Mumbai, Nov 20 (NationPress) Renowned Bollywood actress and political figure Kangana Ranaut appears to have developed a deep appreciation for Gujarat, its vibrant culture, and its delectable cuisine.
Recently, she posted a photograph showcasing a plate filled with authentic Gujarati dishes along with a thoughtful caption that highlights the natural charm of the food. She expressed, “Cruelty-free, low in spices (non-tamsik), gently sweetened—would it be inappropriate to refer to Gujarati cuisine as ‘the food of Gods’?”
The platter features a delightful assortment of traditional Gujarati fare, celebrated for its mild, sweet, and harmonized flavors. Among the items, viewers can observe a serving of shaak (vegetable sabzi) that embodies a touch of sweetness and subtle spices, epitomizing the classic Gujarati approach.
Accompanying the main dish is a thepla (spiced flatbread), roasted and dotted with herbs or spices. In the backdrop, one can spot pieces of dhokla, the famed fluffy steamed snack topped with tempered mustard seeds and coriander. Additionally, there’s a small bowl of kadhi, which complements the meal beautifully.
In recent events, Kangana was spotted at the sacred Somnath temple. Sharing moments from her visit, she remarked, "Today I had the privilege of visiting Baba Somnath ji, attending the aarti, and performing flag worship. I was also fortunate to offer a flag at Baba’s temple. Har Har Mahadev."
She also ventured into the stunning wildlife of Gir National Park, where Kangana mentioned having observed various exotic species. In her shared social media posts, she appeared ready for adventure in a safari jacket and hat, wielding binoculars while exploring the park from a jeep.
The Queen actress was joined by her young nephew Prithvi during this journey, and together they enjoyed the landscape and immersed themselves in the local culture. Sharing her experience on Instagram, Kangana wrote, "Gujarat is incredibly wholesome. I am left speechless by its beauty, culture, and authenticity. Today in Gir National Park with my little friend Prithvi, who has become my favorite travel companion. We are thrilled to spot various species, and the Gujarat Lion is world-famous!"
For those unfamiliar, Gir National Park is noted for being the sole habitat of the Asiatic lion, with its population rising from fewer than 200 in the late 1960s to 674 lions as per the 2020 census.
Moreover, the park is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including leopards, spotted deer, nilgai, and over 300 species of birds.
