Gandhi once said, “The Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed”. Try telling that to this gentleman.

India in 52 frames - 9

Timeless....


Some scenes have not changed with time - even during the time of the Mughals, goat herds would have brought their flock to feed on the banks of the Yamuna and the Taj stands witness to that.

The Morning After
Dev Deepavali is celebrated on the occasion of Kartik Poornima when the Ghats of Varanasi come alive with thousands of Diyas (earthen lamps). Dev Deepavali, celebrated on the fifteenth day of Diwali, is a tribute to river Ganga by the people of Varanasi. Dev Deepavali is held on the full moon day in the month of Kartik (also known as Kartik Purnima) and is observed with great fanfare and feasts. It is believed that on the day of Dev Deepavali, the Gods descend on Earth. And after a boisterous night of festivities, all that remains are these flowers.

As my train pulls into Villupuram, an important junction in Tamil Nadu, vendors get ready to dish out fresh grub to the hungry passengers.
