I have recently been to the Varanasi , also known as Kasi in northern state of India
May you have the same feeling of positive energy that this city gives to every one who goes there....

 |
| Home of Shiva - Kashi |
 |
| Also known as Varanasi - Situated on the banks of Holy River Ganges |
 |
| Attracts visitors from all over the world... |
 |
| Some even from Siberian lands... |
 |
| But the common life goes on.... |
 |
| On and on... |
 |
| Some come here to wash their sins in Holy river Ganges... |
 |
| Some shower blessings.... |
 |
| Some sharing tips of nirvana... to gullible tourists |
 |
| Some have their own view.... |
 |
| Some to take some family photographs... |
 |
| Each one, to one's own pleasures... Massage on the Ghat |
 |
| Some are just lost in their thoughts.... |
 |
| Some catch up in the market place... |
 |
| And some are caught up in traffic jam... |
 |
| Some one like me, stuck floating in the river of life... in living. |
Shashi--What strikes me the most beautiful in all these photos is the incredible color that I see everywhere...at weddings, at the river, the painted walls, the market place. Just beautiful. And you...you look so rested, calm and relaxed floating on that "river of life" with colors all around you, behind you, with you.
ReplyDeletewhat beauty our world holds, and you've captured it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Teri and David
ReplyDeleteColors everywhere!
You have captured and depicted your impression beautifully! but not only of this Holy City and the people but also of your colors that you hold within yourself.
Thank you Shashi
@Teri
ReplyDeleteThanks for liking this and yes India is land of colors and out of the world festivities and interesting people.
It was an interesting thought on my picture there... I was unusually calm and taking it all... this type of holy places fills within me a lot of positive energy so there is not space for any negativity...
Thanks for visiting this and enjoying...
@David Allen
Our world is usually and naturally beautiful, we just need to open our heart and really see with seeing eyes... as they say in Buddhism.
Thanks for enjoying this and today I am putting more of my impressions and an introduction to the house of Lord Shiva as its the most auspicious day for Shiva devotees... Maha Shiva Ratri... you will find more interesting images and impressions there too...
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.
@ Hope
Thanks for enjoying the colors... as well as the color within... Thank you.

beautifully captured images!!
ReplyDeleteThe 3rd and 6th photograph fascinate me. Such a different look from where I live! I found your traveling to Varanasi interesting as travel is so different here as well. It is good for people to go on spiritual journeys, to take time to reflect and ponder God - in whatever form that takes. If only our crazy world was safer, people respected and tolerated different beliefs. How I would love to travel overseas and know I would be safe. Thank you for your very kind comments on my blog.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Pictures ! thanks for sharing them..recently I read one novel where the back drop was Varanasi and now saw pictures here, and all this makes me sure to visit the holy city.
ReplyDeleteas tuas imagens me mostraram panoramas que até este dia eu só havia visto em filmes como... O guerreiro sagrado... Eu gosto dos filmes que vocês produzem. E gosto da simplicidade que vocês mostram, das obras arquitetônicas, tudo é muito bem projetado.
