Tajul Masajid, Bhopal
On my unplanned trip to Madhya Pradesh a few years ago, I managed to visit the Tajul Masajid in Bhopal. Said to be the third largest Mosque in the world, it was an experience which was both peaceful and spiritual for me… there is a certain calm if you visit a religious place early morning before people start pouring in… The kids studying in the Madarsa, and chanting words from Holy Quran was such a detoxifying feeling… here are some photographs from the morning….
A little bit of information about the Mosque…

Religion is more about reflection of our faith and beliefs more than anything else…
Its always a lovely experience to take pictures of kids… These are some of them from the Madarsa…

McLeodganj, Kangra (Himachal Pradesh, India)
I have been to Mcleodganj a couple of times, and have loved the experience… While going through my old work, came across a folder of images which was earlier on flickr and is not longer accesible… Here are a few good ones and the album below…
This small town a few kilometers ahead of Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh offers a variety of options for almost all kinds of travelers, the religious can go to temples around, the tourist can enjoy walking around the town and take cabs to nearby locations to enjoy the nature… the foodies can eat at a number of restaurants which serve a variety of food… the trek types can trek to Triund and other places… What a complete package this place is!

Chopta Tungnath Trek
Did the Chopta Tungnath Trek long back in April of 2007. The memories are however still very fresh, and the photographs fresher!
Enjoy!

Pushkar, Rajasthan
I have written about this trip earlier here, and some pictures were also posted in Flickr, however after my FlickrPro account expired and I decided to continue with the free one, these photographs are no longer available on Flickr.
Some photographs from a trip to the Holy Towns of Pushkar and Ajmer…
A quote stressing the fact that effort has to work with luck! It translates to “luck can give you flour but not make bread for you…“
An interesting arrangement here… An empty chair, however the man in the picture chooses to let it be and sit on the pavement!
This is the Ajmer Sharif Dargah! What I love about Mosques and Gurudwaras is that you cannot enter them (or atleast the instructions say so) without washing your hands and feet.
Getting three generations in one single photograph is always a pleasure!
There was something very intriguing about this little girl. So engrossed in her own world!
Here is the entire album for you….
