Hey all, discovered something that applies to some chowks and wanted to share (perfect for representing Chautaris/Mandirs/Pipalbots). The<br>highway=mini_roundabout<br>tag can be applied to a node on a way, and signifies that we have a small roundabout. It renders like this for the Kamalpokhari Mandir:<br>

This question of how to label chowks is going to come up again and
again. I tagged some big ones like Sinamangal and Pingalsthan with<br>
place=locality<br>
based on feedback <a href="http://openstreetmap.org/user/prabhasp/diary/14624#comments" target="_blank">http://openstreetmap.org/user/prabhasp/diary/14624#comments</a><br>
<br>
That might be one way to go. Another would be to simply tag chowks
with<br>
place=intersection<br>
name=Milan chowk<br>
as an example. The problem is that it wouldn't show up in the map
at all (the renderer wouldn't know what to do), but it would still
show up on searches.<br>
<br>
Other suggestions? (do read the thread before commenting, some
important issues are highlighted there)<br>

place=locality and place=intersection both seem to be good to label
chowks, as chowks have some expanded meaning:<br>
<ul>
<li>most importantly "chowks" denote intersection</li>
<li>but they chowks are not merely limited to intersection, and
they spread out, so as the locality is also named after the
chowk.</li>
</ul>
