A few memories from a visit to Amritsar more than a year ago.
The temple at Amritsar must be the most peaceful place of worship I have ever been to, and certainly the cleanest. We visited twice during the day and again at night, especially to catch the reflected glow of the temple in the pool…
So, here goes – all that glitters…
At first sight, the temple is everything you imagined it to be – impressive, peaceful and bustling with life at the same time…
People were friendly and everyone we made eye contact with, smiled at us, and my bulky camera evoked a lot of interest.
He first glared at me, and then posed with a smile for my camera…
The temple at night
This is one of my all-time favorite images – it was not unusual to see people sitting by the pool, by the walls, either meditating or in silent prayer – somehow adding to the atmosphere of quiet and calm.
At night, the temple even more beautiful and the sense of peace is stronger…
And in the market outside, this, and many interesting sights…
Off with his foot!
stunning pictures, especially the night pictures.
The 3rd and 6th pictures are really good. But this one is more of a photo post than a blog post. If that is what you intended, then its perfect. After looking at your stunning photos, I wish you had written a little more. Nevermind, will satisfy my appetite with your pictures. Cheers!
Although 3rd and 6th pictures show more of the photographic skills but the first and fifth ones are exuberant and exude peace and serenity.
Hello Kalyan, this post by Charukesi is a photo feature, and I must agree with you and Sanchita that photographs are simply stunning. Looking forward to more of Charukesi’s work.
Wonderful..particularly I liked the people portraits …
@Arun/Charukesi: Oops, its a photo feature then and not a regular how to go/what to see travelogue. Then it is pretty good for its genre. Cheers!
