Mother and Daughters, The Ganges River (Ganga), Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India

Ritual and Playful

Mother and daughters
New moon Ganga ritual
Splash! Splash! Splash! They’re cleansed

Playful ritual
Paddling on styrofoam
While mother washes

Woman and Candle, Ganga (Ganges) River, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India

The Angel

The flotilla of pilgrims and tourists makes its way up the Ganges River, leaving behind the Ganga Aarti, the nightly Worship to Fire ceremony at Dashashwamedh Ghat, on the riverbank. Our boat passes another, a candlelit vision aboard it.

A little girl ran through it, Kashi (Old Varanasi), Uttar Pradesh, India

I Fell in Love

I fell in love
With the vivid colour

So I settled in
To setup the shot

When a little girl
Ran through it

So I fell in love
With her too

A little music, Street Art, Kashi (Old Varanasi), Uttar Pradesh, India

A Little Music ~ A Little Dance

I remind myself

Everyday:

A little music
A little dance

Even better:

A lot

A boy and his bicycle, Kashi (Old Varanasi), Uttar Pradesh, India

The Look

Forgive me
Young man
For startling you
With my camera

I heard
But did not hear
You exiting the door

And my eye
Was on a scooter

For which I’d waited

A Boy and his Kite, Kashi (Old Varanasi), Uttar Pradesh, India

A Boy in the Shadows

I step
From the shadows
Into the light
With the innocence
Of a child
Ready
To take flight

Arranging for a Bicycle Rickshaw, New Delhi, India

Short Focus

A family
Arranging a rickshaw
An essential
Every-moment moment
Of India
A million-times-a-day
Moment

A colourful picture
Beautiful
But the focus
Is a little short
The rickshaws
Are sharp
But the people
Are not

Stone Inlay, Taj Mahal, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India

Details

The devil
They say
Is in the details

But so too
Is the beauty

Therefore, God

The Mosque

Staggered by the
Scale as much as the
Stunning Beauty

All the lines
Are precise
And pristine
As to seem
An architect’s model
Atop his desk

Then I notice
The tiny figures
Taking photos and selfies

Taj Mahal, from the Red Fort, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India

Come Closer

Come closer, dear
So I can come
To know you better

In your presence
I deliver myself
To your mysteries
