choultry
Choultry, or tschultri,〔(''The Stanford Dictionary of Anglicised Words and Phrases Edited for the Syndics of the University Press'' ) by Charles Augustus Maude Fennell, John Frederick Stanford〕 is an Indian word used to describe a resting place for visitors where rooms and food are provided by a charitable institution for nominal rates.
Some were guesthouses where accommodation was free of charge. Choultry can also be spelled choultree or choltry, and is also known as a chatra, satram, chatram or dharmasala.
==Etymological origins==
Choultry is a peculiar word of origin in South India and of doubtful etymology; In Malayalam -''chaawathi'', In Telugu and Tamil ''chaawadi'', (chau, Skt. chatur, 'four,' vata, 'road, a place where four roads meet ). In West India the form used is chowry or chowree (Dakhan. chaori). A hall, a shed, or a simple loggia, used by travellers as a resting-place, and also intended for the transaction of public business. In the old Madras Archives there is frequent mention of the "Justices of the Choultry." A building of this kind seems to have formed the early courthouse. It is widely considered to be an Anglo-Indian word which was a corrupted form of the Telugu word ''Chaawadi''.
