A journey up the Godavari - 1

This is a series of pictures taken on a journey up the Godavari about a year ago

It was the dry season but a sudden depression brought an endless dark sky and a strong wind. Dust started to swirl up from the sandbanks giving the image a sense of being on the sea coast

Traditional fishing at the site where the Polavaram Dam is to be constructed. The next set of pictures show the submergence area of the dam project

Rats of the Karnimata Temple - 1

The Karnimata Temple in Deshnoke in the Bikaner District of Rajasthan is quite a wonder. Rats are held sacred here and can be found scampering all over the place in a rather carefree manner. People of the region visit regularly and leave behind food for them...
