One of the world's oldest continually inhabited cities and regarded as Hinduism's one of the holiest places . Pilgrims come here to wash away a lifetime of sins in the sacred waters of River Ganges. Rituals of life and death take place in public and the sights, sounds and smells in and around the ghats is overwhelming.Banaras is unique, and a walk along the ghats or a boat ride on the river will live long in the memory. https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/57458/India/Varanasi Travel India nitinv29 https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/57458/India/Varanasi#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/57458/India/Varanasi Mon, 2 Oct 2017 01:35:00 GMT 0 Profile pictures https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/50181/India/My-pics Travel India nitinv29 https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/50181/India/My-pics#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/50181/India/My-pics Thu, 6 Nov 2014 03:44:00 GMT 0 We set out for Hampi with a lot of expectations as we had heard so much about it and seen such wonderful pictures. The sheer vastness, complexity and craftsmanship of the place left us awestruck and we were left wondering as to how something like this was built and sustained so many centuries ago. The pictures have been taken at various locations like Vittala, Virupaksha and Krishna temple complexes....and we were not in the least bit disappointed... https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/44579/India/Hampi Travel India nitinv29 https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/44579/India/Hampi#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/44579/India/Hampi Wed, 2 Oct 2013 15:02:00 GMT 0 https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/40038/India/Western-Ghats Travel India nitinv29 https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/40038/India/Western-Ghats#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/40038/India/Western-Ghats Sun, 3 Feb 2013 13:01:00 GMT 0 I grew up in Pemba, a small island close to Zanzibar, where we lived by the seaside amidst natural beauty. Growing up in this environment made me to look at nature in a different way. Today, one of the primary reasons for me to pursue photography is to capture things around me be it wildlife, nature or architecture. I have been in the highly demanding Apparel Manufacturing Industry for 35+ years but I still held on to my camera by capturing varied subjects that I came across while traveling worldwide. Gradually,I connected to my subjects and felt that it was not only about clicking a photo but also about studying and understanding the subject . For example, earlier I used to take a tight shot of wildlife, now I try to show them in their natural habitat. At this juncture, I am keen to work with a mentor under whose guidance I can learn the finer nuances and creative angle of photography. I aspire to work towards conservation of nature with specific focus on bio diversity hot spots which are under severe threat. I believe this Scholarship Program is a once in a life time opportunity which will help me take a leap towards a new life –a second innings indeed. https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/37563/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel India nitinv29 https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/37563/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/nitinv29/photos/37563/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Thu, 10 Jan 2013 04:57:00 GMT 0
