Another road - another journey - Glimpses of Somnathpur ,the Hoysala temple built in 13th century

Glimpses of Rajasthan - Some pictures taken on my mobile while driving from Delhi to Jaipur

All journeys have a sunrise and a sunset . I am in love with the twilight moment and I wanted to present an ode to some of the sunsets in my life so far ..



Sunset @ Hampi ,Karnataka..one of my oldest pics



The setting sun at Arunachal Pradesh ... Its surprising we actually saw it set !



While approaching Kaziranga Sannctary in Assam




Sunsets in a beach are always special ...this one is at Kovalam, Kerala



Lost in the colours - another one at Kovalam



A rosy picture at Alleppy, Kerala

Orchids from Bomdila,Arunachal Pradesh


From my mother in law's garden



A closer view - No,I dont know the name


Hibiscus -another closer view


From my humble garden

Golden Buddha at Bylakuppe- one of the largest Tibetan settlements near Mysore in Karnataka

Padmasambhava Buddhist Vihara ... a spiritual experience

Life is rather routine here-education and meditation...

During the day its rather calm , but this is place transforms in the night with chants and laughter ..there is never a dull moment

Life in the villages is often lonely - It is not easy for the old people to forget their homeland

Agriculture is their occupation

These young monks have travelled all the way through Nepal amidst the cold to get here - some of them have fled and escaped ...

At the Gerje University...monks around the world come to study

The entrance to the university and monastery...

Inside the monastery ...its peaceful in here unlike the strife in Tibet

Flags galore...

I would love to study here ...

Colours and designs

Another monastery near Pelling

Rumtek in Twilight zone

Its colour everywhere

And life outside the monastery too

Fun and life inside a monastery

Still and quiet at the monastery

A room with a view- the Tawang Monastery
