Indian colours


First morning rays creates great atmosphere.
Meditating in Maha Bodhi temple in Bodh Gaya (Bihar). Actually she is sitting right bellow the Bodhi tree (Ficus religiosa), tree that is direct descendant of the one, under which Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment.








Maha Bodhi temple in Bodh Gaya again. I think, he's Tibetan.



Construction workers in ancient (well, 16 and 17 century) complex in Orchha, Madhya Pradesh




Schoolgirl near Fatehpur Sikri, short time Moghul capital near Agra. Long time ago abandoned, now tourist attraction.
Astonishment and interst was mutual :)




Somewhere in Indian countryside.





Orchha again.




Puja in Varanasi, by Ganges.





Some portraits in train station. I am really surprised by sharpness and details of the first picture, considering flash.




OK, I payed them some rupees, but I could not resist. And late afternoon sun was just right. Puskar, Rajastan.




I payed him too, but he was not only modeling but played beautifully on saaangi (or was sarod, well I'm not sure).




Women praying in islam (sufi) holy site in Ajmer, Rajastan.
