rohit-pansare-photography

Blessed Stones…


Is life too harsh on you? Do you think you deserve more? Office troubles? No luck with business? Not satisfied with your work, wife or sex life?  Then you have come to the right place, rather divine intervention has brought you here!I have all the answers and my stones have all the cures! One stone for one problem. Wear one for each problem and cure them all!

A man or a swami sells his stuff of rocks and stone of different colors and rings encrusted with the stones for luck, health, wealth and all. Visit to any revered Hindu pilgrimage site will get you some diving intervention like the one above….

Project 365, Day 63: Palace of Birds

Palace of Birds…


Several times I have traveled to Jamanagar. This was my 5th trip to the city of Jamnagar, once upon a time known to be the capital of the Princely State of Nawanagar. Each time I have made it a point to visit the Lakhota lake, my favorite place by the way. However every time I have missed going to the museum that is present at the center of the lake.

Finally this time I visited the museum and I must say I wasn’t disappointed! The museum housed in the Lakhota Palace is beautifully adorned with frescoes, sculpted jalis (window seen above),  and carvings. In the lake surrounding it, you can spot gulls, pelicans, spot bill ducks, widgeons, terns, cormorants and many such birds. In the center of the lake,in the Palace, houses Pigeons and Rosy Starlings(Starlings only for the winters).

The afternoon sun was high-up in the sky and the commotion made by these pigeons cast shadows on the yellow walls of the Palace.  This is when I got an idea, and positioned myself in front of a Jali. After several failed shots, finally got this shot. A frozen moment, depicting the current avian residents of the palace and its heritage in one frame

Project 365, Day 62: Wild surprises…

Wild surprises..


Seagulls swarm our boat to Beyt Dwarka, to feed on biscuits thrown out to them by our fellow passengers. The boy who almost made it into the frame was selling biscuits to the passengers to feed these birds.

The last three days of my tour across Saurashtra have been quite exciting. Though things have not gone according to plan, we have had a few pleasant surprises in our road trip. Through our three-day journey we came across much wildlife, which has left us thoroughly satisfied. Starting with the Leopard crossing the road in Gir Sanctuary to a family of mongooses, hundreds of Demoiselle Cranes and waders near Porbandar followed by a sighting of a fox on our way back from Beyt Dwarka! It may sound quirky but, every time I have hoped to see some wildlife on the road, it has magically appeared. Hoping to have more such wild surprises as I make my way back to Ahmedabad !
