TEMPLE SUTRA

sculptures on the pratapeshwar temple in ambika-kalna

trip to AMBIKA-KALNA

AMBIKA-KALNA is a town in the district of burdwan,kolkata..it has lots of archealogical monuments around 500 years old.some of the most notable sites here are the 108 SHIVA-TEMPLE,the PRATAPESHWAR TEMPLE,the RASH MANCH,the LALJI TEMPLE,the SIDDHESHWARI BARI etc..The 108 shiva temple was built by maharaj tejchandra bahadur in 1809A.D..these atchala brick temples are made of auspicious numerical combinations in two concentric circles..the outer circumfere contains 74 temples while teh inner one has 34...i went there last sunday with few of my friends...but couldnt click much pics as my digicam battery was outta charge!...and nobody had spare batteries...unlucky me :(((

and these pictures would have looked wonderful had they been taken with wide angle lenses!...alas i hav a digicam only :((

PHERARI MON

~a THOUGHT~

as usual i was flippinh thru some magazines at home ..thought these two phrases would make an intresting combination...reality though!...the word printed in bengali reads as "sanchay" bole to save money!...

~PINK BIRTH~

am terrible when it comes to taking flower shots....usually dont upload them..this is not a very good image to be uploaded but still felt like adding some colors to my blog page..

~BLacK GrapeS~

TURN THE PAGE

more from the wheel diaries..clicked near chandni chowk!..

THE THINKING EXPRESS

had taken this last year during my 1st outdoor shoot at kumortuli!...i wish she had included a bit more of the door..the presence of the person behind could have been avoided then!...but i love her flat nose ....and this woman was dangerously camera shy :(

THE UNBEARABLE DARKNESS OF BEING

she lives in a shanty near our college!..and shes NOT at all camera shy!...i had taken this picture last year while we were having our internals prioir to the sem!..we had a 2 hour break time between 2 exams and i utilised the time by clicking pictures instead of studying!...

CORNERed

dinn go to colg today so thought of experimenting with marbles....as a child i used to be very fond of the game brainvita...luckily i managed to find these marbles!...
