Punting
Thank you for your addition to Punting about punting in India. Can you provide any reference about this? perhaps a photograph on the web somewhere or a printed source? Thanks Thruston 22:04, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for showing interest about punting in India. Below is some of the reference that I could gather quickly and is available on Web. Should you be interested in printed source do let me know. --Vivek Sathe 08:40, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Good stuff Vivek, from what I can see the punts look like traditional thames punts. Do you have any pictures of them actually being punted? Thruston 16:35, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


 * As of now the actual punting snaps are not available on website. I will try and get some snaps uploaded to the Punt Formation Page. Vivek Sathe 04:16, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
