Gangu Teli
Gangu Teli is a historical or apocryphal figure from the era of the Parmara dynasty of central India, a commoner belonging to the ''Teli'' (oil-presser) caste. He is recalled in Hindi, Urdu and other Indian vernacular saying ''Kahaan Raja Bhoj, kahan Gangu Teli'' ("where is King Bhoj, where is Gangu the oil-presser"), an aphorism which contrasts something very important with something very inconsequential or pretentious.
==Story==
The story of Gangu teli is traditionally positioned to have occurred during the reigns of either Emperor Bhoja of Dhar, King of Malwa in Central India, belonging to the Parmara dynasty or Emperor Bhoja II of the Shilhara dynasty then headquartered in the Panhala fort. According to legend, Bhoja was building the fort of Panhala (Pranalaka) near Kolhapur in South Maharashtra, but the walls kept collapsing during construction. The king's astrologer recommended the sacrifice a woman and her newborn to appease the gods of the mountain. Gangu Teli was the only person nearby whose wife had just delivered, so Gangu, puffed up with self-importance, offered his wife Jakkubai and his newborn child as a sacrifice. A tomb exists inside the Panhala Fort for Jakkubai and her child.
As Gangu Teli became prideful as he realised that only he could come to the aid of a king, this tale brought about the aphorism ''Kahaan Raja Bhoj, kahan Gangu Teli'', dismissing him as being inconsequential compared to the rajah.
