My pictures with their little stories

Observing at Ranakpur Jain Temple, Rajastan It was an interesting study to see how visitors observe and relate with monuments and architecture. Each one does it in a different way which is unique. The attention span, what they look at, the body language - everything is so different and hence great fun to study and capture.  ( Ranakpur Jain Temple , Rajastan, 2015)

Chatting at Ranakpur Jain Temple, Rajastan Spotted this couple chatting at the end of a passage inside the magnificent Jain temple at Ranakpur known for its remarkable architecture with numerous pillars. The temple architecture is such that it has created several such spaces which have their own charm and mystery. (Ranakpur, 2015)  ‪

Menu card at Jalori Pass, Himachal Tea and paratha (prantha to use phonetically correct spelling as the word is pronounced) dominated the graffiti on all possible areas where something could be written at this place at Jalori Pass in  Himachal . We did not go in here, we went into another shop where the fellow was making fresh mithai. (Jalori Pass, Himachal, 2014)

The Bougainvillea Collection - 3 While shooting the  Bougainvillea , I realised that while it looked bright and vibrant, one would make a mistake to miss out some very subtle tones in it.  It is similar to the search for the subtle and unspoken beauty as opposed to loud assertion of beauty which we get bombarded with all the time.  (April 2016)

The Bougainvillea Collection - 1  Although I usually do not enjoy shooting flowers, the bougainvillea at Indiaart Gallery has been so inviting that I could not resist picking up the camera. In this picture, the dried leaves of a fallen branch of the bamboo tree from the adjoining piece of land has created a wonderful backdrop for the colour and beauty of bougainvillea. (April 2016)
