Chhatedi Bhuj

Chhatedi- An Offbeat Historical Site in Bhuj

Posted on April 1, 2021April 27, 2025

I have been to Bhuj a few times. So, when I was visiting in December 2019 I was looking beyond the usual tourist attractions in Bhuj. And I was not disappointed. I found two paces that I didn’t see on all my previous trips. This post is about the historical site, Chhatedi. But you also…

A Crafts Village Called Nirona in Kutch Gujarat

Posted on February 19, 2018May 2, 2025

I discovered the fascinating village of Nirona on my third trip to Kutch in Gujarat. I admit I am not big on crafts. But Nirona changed that completely. Our group visited 3 houses in the village, each specializing in a different craft. There was Mr. Husen’s home where they made copper bells, then we were…

Exploring Kutch with the Fabulous Rann Utsav Festival

Posted on February 12, 2018May 2, 2025

I went back to Kutch in Gujarat for the third time in 2018. You may ask why do I keep going back to the same places? The answer is that I get to see only so much on one blogging trip and there is always more to explore on subsequent trips! My 2018 (and 2016)…

The Copper Bell House at Nirona, Kutch, Gujarat

Posted on January 16, 2018May 2, 2025

It was on my third visit to Kutch that I discovered Nirona. As we walk through its dusty lanes, it felt like a typical Indian village with small beautiful houses, its people curious about the newcomers! My first stop was the Copper Bell House at Nirona headed by Mr Husen Luhar. I was invited by…

The Handsome Men of Gujarat

Posted on February 23, 2016November 6, 2016

What do you do after writing about women of Gujarat? Why you go ahead and write about the handsome men of Gujarat! As I said in the post before, I managed to click so many people because of Bernard, he is a pro, it was easy to stand next to him and click pictures. Gradually…

Beautiful Women of Gujarat

Posted on February 21, 2016November 6, 2016

If you have been reading my blog for a while you might have noticed I hardly ever post people photos. The reason is street/people photography used to terrify me. Do notice the past tense, things somehow changed when I started photographing the beautiful women of Gujarat. Of course I clicked men too, but they will…

Sunset at Udaipur, Rajasthan, India

If you had to pick only one picture …

Posted on December 8, 2014April 13, 2021

December is here and unlike the other years, I am in a full on reminiscences  mode. So I asked myself- which picture would I pick if I had to pick only one picture from each of my trips! Now there was a problem with this concept. If I picked even just one picture from each…

Garbage bins at the great rann of kutch

Dealing with the Litter at the Great Rann of Kutch

Posted on February 13, 2014May 5, 2021

At the first glance, everything around the main walk at the Great Rann of Kutch felt totally clean. Then I started walking on the salt land. Immediately after the platform you can get down and walk on the salt. People did leave garbage around this place. It completely stunned me. For me the landscape was…

Great Rann of Kutch- The Mirage, the Miracle!

Posted on February 6, 2014May 5, 2021

When I set my eyes at the Great Rann of Kutch for the first time it felt like a mirage, shimmering and floating out there. I hardly have words to describe it, so I am just doing a photo feature. There was a 2 km long walking path that led to the heart of the Great…

Sunset at Mandvi Beach, Gujarat, India

Rukmavati Guest House Mandvi

Posted on January 28, 2014May 6, 2021

To me Rukmavati Guest HouseĀ (Mandvi, Gujarat) was recommended by Mr Krutarthsinh Jadeja from Devpur. When I walked into the place I saw a Tripadvisor sticker on the door. I made a mental note to talk about it. I was greeted by Mr. Vinod the owner of the place. After some confusion over my arrival dates,…
