evening at khadakwasla

while returning from TORNA fort i made a short halt at KHADAKWASLA dam near PUNE just to capture those beautiful colours.

the flora fountain - II

one of the four sculptures at the base of FLORA FOUNTAIN. on my walk to VT station that night, her beauty stopped me.

girgaon

it was during the BOMBAY HERITAGE WALK tour of KHOTACHIWADI, GIRGAON, i caught this old lady standing in the balcony engrossed in her own thoughts.

the victoria terminus

during the tour of SOUTH BOMBAY on MTDC'S NILAMBARI, an open double decker bus, i captured this magnificent architectural marvel, the VICTORIA TERMINUS.

the flora fountain

the ROMAN goddess FLORA standing with all its glory on the fountain. on my walk to VT station that night, i found her alone.

beautiful saswad

on my way to the PURANDAR fort, just after crossing the SASWAD village, i came across the stupendous SAHYADRI MOUNTAIN range.

in the SASWAD village, just off the road towards PURANDAR fort, away from all eyes, hidden between trees i found this SHIV temple know as the CHANGATESHWAR temple. the serenity of this place made a place in my heart.

udaipur

i got this view of the royal CITY PALACE from one end of the JAG MANDIR temple which is located right in the middle of LAKE PICHOLA. the sun set coloured this palace in gold.

i was on the boat which took as around the PICHOLA LAKE. we were going back to the jetty after spending some time at JAG MANDIR. i saw the hues of purple made by the sunset on the ARAVALLI moutain range.

after watching a short puppet show "bengal ka jadugar" at the SHILPGRAM, an artisan's village, i saw these puppets displayed in the same shop. i felt as if they were waiting their turn on the small stage.

murarbaji deshpande

it was already turning dark and it was too late to climb the PURANDAR fort. on the way down, i saw the silhouette of MURARBAJI DESHPANDE formed on the background clouds.

ellora

a 5th century painting on the ceiling of a cave at ELLORA. i was amazed to see the colours still intact on those paintings.

daulatabad fort

i found this stone carved panel lying near the entrance of the DUALATABAD FORT. the carvings were so intricate that i watched it with awe for a while.

ajanta

i found the meaning of "peace" at this cave in AJANTA.
