    @surekhap You can post your puzzles whenever you are ready! Since I've already had a look at them and solved them, I'll sit these out. :)

    ChandBaori.jpg

    Answer to #4843 -- Chand Baori, Step-well in Abhaneri, Rajasthan renowned for it's breathtaking architecture. Quite a few Hollywood blockbusters have used Chand Baori as a filming location, the most well-known being the prison scene in 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

    The three movie images were direct references to the films where this location has been featured. Any search including all three movies would have brought up the answer. The images of a water tank and staircase were references to architectural details, and the 'Eid ka chaand' was a clue to the name of the stepwell.

    And this stepwell is dedicated to Harsha Mata (a Goddness of joy and happiness) located across Chand Baori. My new year wish also acted as a clue to Gauri's puzzle.

    And here is the answer to Puzzle 4850

    Answer: Avatar Meher Baba.

    Image 1: The second round table conference in the UK.

    Image 2: Rajputana.

    He travelled on the same ship SS Rajputana on which Gandhiji travelled to attend the second round table conference. This was Meherbaba's first trip to the West.

    Image 3: Hazrat Babajan - an old Muslim lady (who was revered as a saint in Pune) who touched Meherbaba's forehead. That left Meherbaba in an altered state for a very long time and he gave up normal activities and that was the start of his spiritual life.

    Image 4: Meherabad in Maharashtra where Baba's Ashram stands.

    Image 5: For most of his life Meherbaba observed complete silence and communicated only through an alphabet board and later through unique hand gestures.

    Image 6: "Avatar" :-D

    Additional clues:

    Images 1 and 3: He was in two major accidents in his lifetime. After the second accident, the doctors had given up hope but he somehow managed to get back on his feet but suffered from severe pain and disability.

    Image 2: Deccan college in Pune where he studied.

    That's what comes of having about 30 tabs open at the same time Rihana!!! Besides, the puzzles on that forum are far more complex and hard to solve. :p
