THE BEAUTY OF INDIAN FESTIVALS


Creativity at its best...


Earthen diyas... ready for being lighted...


The mandatory customary sweets and rice items...


All set to enter every house... the Goddess of Wealth Laxmi...


A happy seller... she was so sweet to remove all the wrappers for a shoot


The high demand requires the seller to even keep making the statues while selling their statues... all concentrated on her job... simply artistic!!!


The villagers live on the streets for three to four days to make a little money selling the statues... in the background the child requires attention...


Fantastic rendering and colorful work of an artistic craftsman...


The colours for Rangoli...


Rangoli Stencils...



Fruit Stall...

CHILDREN IN MELGHAT REGION


MALNUTRITION IS A DEMONIC MYTH CREATED BY MEDIA


A girl in her father's slippers playing with the lamb...


I told just one boy to take bath & wear clean clothes,
four of them arrived, I was so happy to see what love can achieve...


The little one was not ready for a snap shot...


Protect me please from all the exploitation in the name of serving me...


The Korku tribe grow Organic & eat healthy food grains they cultivate,
very few cases of malnutrition (only 6 ) was witnessed in four villages I served...


Colourful & Beautiful...


Physical game like this keeps the children agile & healthy...


Time for a group photo at Paankhalya Primary School...


Cute & so healthy...


Playing marbles with these two brought back memories of childhood...
