All questions contributed by Toodles.

1. Establishments founded by Pandit Gayaprasad Shivcharan (1872), Kanhaiyalal Durgaprasad Dikshit (1875) and Pandit Babu Ram Devi Dayal (1888) still survive of the original nine establishments that gave this location its name. These three outfits continue to draw tourists. Which location?

2. It is said that when the team was returning to the club with the Shield, a Brahmin pointed to the Union Jack atop the Fort William & asked - " When will that come down ? " Somebody replied that " It will come down when _________ _________ will win the shield again." It is probably coincidental that _______ ________ won it again in 1947, the year of Indian Independence.
Fill in the blank and identify the context.

3. In 1985, X met Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who gave him an invitation to study Ayurveda. In that same year, X became the founding president of the American Association of Ayurvedic Medicine, and was later named medical director of the Maharishi Ayurveda Health Center for Stress Management and Behavioral Medicine. He was initially the sole stockholder of Maharishi Ayurveda Products International, but divested after three months. He has been called the Transcendental Meditation movement's "poster boy" and "its leading Ayurvedic physician". In 1989, the Maharishi gave him the title "Dhanvantari (Lord of Immortality), the keeper of perfect health for the world".
