Sakhigopal - The village of priests https://journals.worldnomads.com/anurag-bindal/ Sat, 25 Apr 2026 12:36:49 GMT World Nomads Adventures Hi my name is Anurag and I am very passionate about photography. I have this urge to get up at 3 am and head for the wetlands to catch a glimpse of the nesting migratory birds. I also have this urge to be on railway platforms and observe how the homeless people are struggling to keep themselves covered by a small piece of cloth that is their only posession. I also rush to the local fish market to see the people thronging to get a bite of the freshest catch of the day first. I also travel to the cultural events to find the roots of our culture and to sometimes see that where a few handful of people are struggling to keep the culture alive , majority of other busy people are happy to keep their own culture far away from their maddening pace of life to earn money. I do not have the liberty to travel very much because I work for an MNC firm. But it is my passion that lets me wake up early or take a walk in the night on streets or the local fish market. It is this drive that makes me think that I should definitely be a part of this wonderful Scholarship organised by worldnomads.com. https://journals.worldnomads.com/anurag-bindal/photos/39134/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel India anurag-bindal https://journals.worldnomads.com/anurag-bindal/photos/39134/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/anurag-bindal/photos/39134/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 14 Jan 2013 06:41:07 GMT 0 Sakhigopal is a small village on the way to Puri in the state of orissa in India. 99% of the residents in this village are priests and hence the name. https://journals.worldnomads.com/anurag-bindal/photos/39018/India/Sakhigopal-The-village-of-Priests Travel India anurag-bindal https://journals.worldnomads.com/anurag-bindal/photos/39018/India/Sakhigopal-The-village-of-Priests#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/anurag-bindal/photos/39018/India/Sakhigopal-The-village-of-Priests Mon, 16 Apr 2012 06:12:00 GMT 0
