A famous temple in kerala, this photo was taken after the soma yaga was conducted in the temple. The Parjanya homam (a part of soma yaga) is conducted at the height of the dry season with the purpose of pleasing the Gods to bring in rain.

sweat

imagine, the hard work
Hundreds of people working day in, day out under the sweat of the sun. This day sounded surprisingly calm. There was not one person in sight. Nice to know they get days off at the deck.

majestic

it was getting darker as we moved back from fort kochi.

If you ever come down to this part of the world, fort kochi is one place you should not miss. Especially for Kashi art cafe and also for the food here. The shops here display a wide variety of fishes, fresh from the sea. Get one cooked your way, sit back by the waves and enjoy the feast. And yeah.... dont forget to drag your love along cos love is in the air baby.

Fort kochi is also known for mud-bike races and kites. If you like collecting antiques or wearing light clothes that let you fly, this sure is heaven.

rain

the grass was wet from the rain,and you could smell the freshness of the day....

With a deer park and lavish greenery all around, this palace does take us to a different world. Build in the traditional architectural style of kerala in 1865, the palace is currently a museum with a rich display of paintings, furniture, inscriptions and other such collections from the royal families of travancore and kochi.

The building you see in the picture is not the main building, it's just one of the many fourty plus buildings around the palace that i believe used to house the helpers.

This was the reason i entered into the world of photography. I thought this picture deserves an award and I still do, not because I was the one behind the lens ;)

See how the window was captured within the 'apple'. Notice the frame of the window in the background.
The apple has another relevance. As one of my fellow blogger points out,
'The Apple and Serpent from Genesis'
