Temple On HillThis one is at one of the hills of Kathgodam, near Haldwani. One can find temples on such isolated places on hills. Its common. Shepards and other folk who has to pass by the mountains build up temples in hope that forest god or their village god will be protecting them through their journey. Another feature of such temples is that you can find some water body nearby.

This picture was taken sometime at Dec-07 when I went to attend to Narendar bhai's marriage. I stole some time and along with my brother, cousin and one guest reached this place.

In Frame : Rani. Do we need to say who she is ? Rani is the elephant at Manarkul Vinayagar Temple at Pondicherry (Pondy) whom one can see the entrance of the temple. She has been trained to shower blessings on devotees who offer her money and eatables especially banana. On festivals she is beautifully decorated with colorful usually red and golden yellow robes and cloth sheets and carries the idols of Lord Ganesha along with the religious processions which passes through prominent streets of Pondy notable among them is JN Sreat and MG Road. Clicked in Aug 2008 at Manarkul Temple, Pondy during my first visit to the temple.

Consider few instance, taken from the said article and other sources: Someone in Mumbai distributes footwear at traffic signals to barefoot people, another man collects the leftover food at weddings to feed hungry kids, in Delhi a gentleman distributes drinking water in shanties of west Delhi, another person never leaves home without packets of glucose biscuits for poor kids, a young journalist instead of visiting church every sunday religiously visits nearby home for aged people and spends her time with them………… A guy collects rickety and torn out bicycles and repairs them and gives them to school kids who otherwise would have dropped as parents are reluctant to send kids far away to schoo...
