  • Lakshman Jhula (Bridge) - Rishikesh<br />
<br />
Himalayas, Ganges, Pilgrimage, Spa, Rafting, Ayurvedic Treatment, Yoga, Meditation, Nature, Camping.... if there is one word for all these, it's "Rishikesh"!<br />
<br />
About Rishikesh<br />
Rishikesh - known as the "City of the Divine"- is a spiritual center to which sages, rishis, saints and pilgrims have flocked for millennia. The roads of the city are lined with bustling market places of ethnic arts and handicrafts, fresh produce markets, holy shrines and orange -robed sadhus (priests). Then, the road narrows, the markets become more sparse and you come upon a foot bridge, suspended high over the sacred Ganga (Ganges) river. As you cross this bridge, the sun streaming through the Himalayas to warm your being, you will feel as if you have truly come home. It is no surprise that pilgrims are drawn here from all over the world. The awe-inspiring beauty of the place, the clear, flowing Ganga, the majestic mountains, and the lush green forests will embrace and rejuvenate your entire being. <br />

  • Mehendi application<br />
After application, the paste is allowed to dry for 2-3 hours and then scraped off. The design comes up in a shade of brownish orange and the tone depends on the individual's body heat. The color takes on a deeper tone if kept for a longer time. <br />
<br />

Rick, thanks for picking this pic! And don't worry, that's not a Tattoo pin, it's the nozzle of a tube! :-)<br />

  • Mehendi hands  (Best seen in Large or Original size) <br />
<br />
Beside geometrical figures & flowers, the design includes an Elephant and two human faces. At times the name of the groom is also written (hidden) which he has to find out later on! <br />
<br />
This kind of detailed design would take 3-5 hours (hands & legs)!<br />
<br />

  • Mirage <br />
Have a question. Can mirage be photographed? I saw stretches of 'water' on the desert sand when we were returning from Abu Simbel temples. As we would pass by I could just see the sand. The time was around noon. We were on a highway and going at a considerable speed and this was shot from the van's window. <br />
<br />

Spread over 48 acres, it's THE place to have a holiday! One can relax in the suite, enjoy the sun, the water... and forget all worries. The warm hospitality and delicious food adds to the experience.<br />

  • Paradise Beach<br />
Pondicherry, India<br />
<br />
ADDED IN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS: <br />
These are stray dogs and not wild as they grow up amongst people. A few of them could be 'ferocious' but most co-exist very peacefully with street people. <br />
Majority of the stray dogs in India adapt to their neighbourhood very easily, in most cases thanks to the friendly people in the locality. While there is a system in place to keep a check on strays, often their extended families (read people) jump to the defense of their friendly, harmless four legged pals.<br />

    Thanks Hillary!
    As I did not want to disturb (alarm) the dogs I shot this first. Also liked
    the depth in the pic. Later went closer behind the chair and shot the other one which shows the dogs clearly.

    Like this shot, too, but probably prefer the other ones where you can see each dog more clearly.. Love your shots of India. It is like traveling without leaving home. Really wonderful views of a beautiful and fascinating country.

    Smart dogs . . . I liked this shot before I noticed the dogs under the chairs. Very nice soft feeling of abandonment.
