Palace of the Breeze

Photographed from the Entrance of Hawa Mahal.

Hawa Mahal(Palace of the Breeze) is a Palace located at the Capital City to Rajasthan, Jaipur. The structure of the Palace was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, and designed by Lal Chand Ustad. It was named so because it was essentially a high screen wall built for the women of the royal household could observe street festivities while unseen from the outside. Constructed of red and pink sandstone, the palace sits on the edge of the City Palace. The architecture is so brilliant that the person standing at any of the floor inside the Palace will never feel heat and sweat even if it is a hot Sunny Day.

Old Man's Solitude

Photographed at Sardar Market Cirdikot, Jodhpur.

A Random Photograph as it Delineate a Middle Class Indian Man. I clicked this simple Photograph in a haste without having any knowledge of its Depth but while going through these photos afterwards I noticed something in this which cannot find its place in few words. I want viewers to relate to the Happiness that comes on these Barren Faces when someone stops to buy their goods. Sardar Market of Jodhpur has many small shops selling basic things, their are also different-different markets for Rajasthani goods, pulses, sweets, cloths, jewelry, mouth fresheners, decoration things, etc. Shopkeepers of these market are not very rich, although they shows affability and generousness towards their costumers which is incredible.

Different Directions

Photographed at Nagauri Gate Circle, Jodhpur.

Photograph is not so awesome from a Photographer's view but it attains many interpretations. It was clicked in haste while riding my bike. As the frame is wide enough, it portrays many elements i.e. in the focus we can see a tonga carrying some school kids while in the background their's statue of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar pointing towards the pigeons sitting on a wire at the right corner. Every element from this picture can be interpreted uniquely and then be related to each other. If someone asks me to interpret it I would probably say that the horse can be related to limitations as horse has to work for its owner irrespective of its own wish. Kids are berk, they cannot decide about their own and are dependent on their elders in the same way here they are dependent on the horse. So, Horse and Kids are bounded to limitations. On the other hand the statue is pointing towards the Birds which can be related to Freedom. So their are two different things Boundations and Freedom that's why I titled the post "Different Directions".

Squirrel's Snack

Portrays an Indian Palm Squirrel.

These Squirrels are commonly found species in India. The palm squirrel is about the size of a large chipmunk, with a bushy tail slightly shorter than its body. The back is a grizzled, gray-brown color with three conspicuous white stripes which run from head to tail. The two outer stripes run from the forelegs to the hind legs only. it has a creamy-white belly and a tail covered with interspersed, long, black and white hair. The ears are small and triangular. Squirrels are considered sacred in India and are not to be harmed. They are even fed by many Hindu families. This is mainly because of their association with Lord Rama.
