Lord Shiva and Parvati
A beautiful painting of Lord Shiva and Parvati that I found on tiles around a charity water tap at Badi Chaupar, Jaipur walled city. I specially liked the detail of Ganga trapped in Shiva’s hair. (Photo date: August 23, 2009)
Pigeon with lord Ganesha!
A Pigeon sits in a niche housing a lord Ganesha idol, surrounded by a beautiful folk painting. Photograph taken at the back entrance of Govind Devji temple, Jaipur, on November 3, 2006.
A street temple
A Devra, a small open air temple I found on the pavement of a street in Tilak Nagar, Jaipur. It was composed of few smooth stones placed around a tree. As far as I know, this is how temples used to be initially and have over centuries evolved to be extravagant structures with impressive idols. This one, perhaps, tells us that God exists in the simplest of things! (Photo date: April 1, 2006)
