Pushkar, Mother and Child !

Mother and Child - Color

Every photographer worth his fancy lens wanted a peek at the color version of the earlier shot of the Mother and child from Pushkar.

Pushkar is a colorful pagaentry of people and camels. Rajasthan has the most vivid and bright colors in the clothes that are worn by the women. It is a land where the colors liven up in a sudden burst of brightness, the harsh monotonous tones of the desert.It is an eye pleasing sight when you travel through this barren land.

The lady in this shot is from a community which has the colors somewhat muted in their dresses. How I wish it was an explosion of yellows, reds and such colors.
One can be fanciful and wish for anything, PS permitting.

You can tell me whether a more colorful attire would have taken something away from the poignant and regally defiant face which for me defines Pushkar or let me say the Existence of womanhood in India.

The large size of this photogrpah looks like this.

Pushkar Holy Land & Holy Men !

Pushkar is famous not only for its Cattle Fair but it is one of the most holy destinations for the people of Rajasthan. Within the framework of ritualistic Hindu existence your birth, death and moksha can all be be obtained and arranged / ordained on the banks of the holy Pushkar lake.

Concurrent with the Cattle Fair is the holy period of Karthik Purnima when almost the whole of rajasthan descends on this place for a holy dip to attain salvation.

Industry always follows the footsteps of the population and "sadhuism" now appears to be one successful industry.

The sadhus gather here from places far and near to seek their alms. On the first day of my stay I saw this procession of sadhus walking in to Pushkar on an evening of mellow golden sunshine.

Here is a shot of a lone sadhu walking with a twinkle in his eyes and a smile of benevolent indulgence for the unenlightened human beings who sport materialistic gadgets in their hands.
