Orange Sky

A molted sky with orange and grey discs.

Spring Rain

The mild evening showers, the smell of the earth, spring weather, fresh green leaves spurting, flowers blooming - the most pleasurable experience that one can have in namma Bengaluru.

Roads carpeted with the flowers of "Honne Mara" after the previous night shower.


The fresh bright green leaves of "Honne Mara" with its flowers carpeting the streets - the perfect sunrise.

Night Skyline

View of the RMZ Millennium on Murphy Road. I used to work at this place for sometime when Philips had rented this building. The picture was shot from Manipal Towers on Dickenson Road.

Thanks to my inexperience - i get a good image [:)]

Silver Lining

More pictures from ITPB. The spring sky with few thick clouds. The setting sun casts a brilliant spell on these clouds to give a lively feel.

Nama oorina jathre

Orru Jathre of Ramapura. These are the pictures of the first day of the three day festival. This jathre is jointly organized by the people of Ramapura and Bimanahalli.

The first ceremony - Going around the village inviting the Gods to participate in the festival. Those are stone wheels.



Gowdara Bandi



Mine is the best.
The women folk offer these decorated baskets to the Goddess. More the decoration more the pride :)





sea of flowers


The procession starts from the smaller temple of the village, passes through the orru bagilu (the main village gateway) and ends at the main village temple.



Goddess Varamahalakshmi. People here believe that the Goddess is the daughter of the Bimanahalli village. It is the thavara mane (parents house) of the Goddess. That explains the participation of Bimanahalli in the jathre.



The main temple of the village.
