- Choultry is a resting place, an inn or caravansary for travelers, pilgrims or visitors to a site, typically linked to Buddhist, Jain and Hindu temples. They are also referred to as chottry, choultree, chathra, choltry, chowry, chawari, chawadi, choutry, chowree or tschultri. This term is more common in South India, Central India and West India, while in North India similar facilities are called Dharmshalas. They are known as a chatra, satram, chatram or dharmasala in eastern regions of India. The choultry concept and infrastructure in South Asia dates back to at least the 1st millennium, according to epigraphical evidence such as stone and copper plate inscriptions. A choultry provides seating space, rooms, water and sometimes food financed by a charitable institution. Its services are either at no cost, or nominal rates, or it is up to the visitor to leave whatever they wish as a donation. They were also used by officials traveling on public business. Many major temples have mandapam and pillared halls, some called Thousand pillared halls with an attached kitchen for servicing pilgrims and travelers to the temple. The term choultry may overlap with a mandapa. Many Hindu monasteries (matha) also built and operated such choultries. (en)
- En Inde, un choultry (ou tschultri) est un lieu de repos pour les visiteurs où des chambres et de la nourriture sont fournies par une institution charitable moyennant une somme modique. Certains sont des maisons d'hôtes où le logement est gratuit. Les choultries étaient bien connus dans l'Inde coloniale, et c'était une sorte d'hôtel ancien typiquement indien. (fr)
