Reaching Towards HIM

In Frame: Staircase leading to the temple

About The Picture: Search for a subject to click ended with finding of this staircase. It fascinated me as I have earlier never seen painting of auspicious signs on staircase.

These auspicious signs indicate that this temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu or one of its incarnation. Further these are painted on mid of staircase, may be a way to divide the crowd or separate lines for male and female devotees.

Pilgrimage

God's Gate Keeper

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.

Chatwala

In Frame : A hawker selling snacks. Chatwala in local language. About The Picture: It is a bus stand and people are waiting for their bus to come and go home. A hawker has parked his cart and is selling snacks. This is a common site in most of cities, you can find several small vendors selling different things in and around bus stops. Hulimau, Near Rama temple, Bangalore, INDIA. 22 /June/2014.
