Company Bagh, Mussoorie

Mansoori or popularly known as Mussoorie is a famous hill station in the state of Uttarakhand. Mansoor is a shrub found in the region; hence the name Mansoori to the place that later changed to Mussoorie may be by the Britishers.

Mansoori is a beautiful hill station with chilled breeze blowing around even during Summers hence the favorite destination for Indians during Summers. This was my first visit to Mansoori. Though I liked the place but was little disappointed with the growth of hotels, restaurants, shopping malls and other constructions in the area destroying the beauty of Mansoori. You will not find the beauty of Mansoori that we all have seen in the movies during early 60's and 70's. Anyway, still it is worth visiting place if you are planning to visit Uttarakhand.

We had been to few places in Mansoori and Company Bagh is one such place where we enjoyed the most. It is a beautiful Garden with vast variety of flowers. I would like to share some of those wonderful images that I shot during my visit to Company Bagh. Here they come:

This is what you come across the moment you enter the Garden.

Look at this beautiful Red Rose. Lovely! Isn't it?

Here comes another.

Now comes the White Roses. Aren't they beautiful?

This is unbelievable stuff. It looks so unreal. Did it come out of my lens? Yes it did and no photo shop. Absolutely unedited raw image. Unbelievable.

Here comes the beautiful Pink Rose.

And comes the yellow ones.

Don't they look like Butterflies?

Don't even know the names of these flowers. What is there in a name you just enjoy the flowers as we did.

I hope you enjoyed this post. If you like it please share this to your friends. Thank you!

Yamunotri in Images

From Lakhamandal Temple at Jaunsar Village, we traveled to Yamunotri and halted at Janaki chatti. Chatti means a hill in Gadwali language. The road journey to Yamunotri via Barkot, Syana chatti, Rana chatti and Hanuman chatti etc. is quite exciting and adventurous one passing through narrow roads with steep turns. The road passes through thrilling and exhilarating locations offering picturesque surroundings with awesome Deodhar trees, shrubs, lush meadows and gushing cascades. You will find the entire beauty of Gadwal mountain ranges. Two eyes doesn't seem enough looking at those beautiful mountains and valleys of Gadwal Himalayan ranges. Eyes get tired of watching the beauty of those mountains but still can't resist from looking at them. Janaki chatti is the last destination for a vehicle to halt for Yamunotri. It is 6 kilometers trek from here. We halted at a hotel in Janaki Chatti and trekked to Yamunotri the next morning. The picture below is the temple you find a...

Guruji's Vision on Bellur

As a part of my trip to Bellur, this is the second edition of my update on Bellur. In this I decided to share the vision of Guruji on Bellur and the developments that are taking place to fulfill his vision. Guruji had a vision on Bellur, his birth place. He saw the people of Bellur are suffering from Poverty, Illiteracy, Unemployment and ill-health. With a vision to help the people of Bellur he established a trust named after his parents "Bellur Krishnamachar and Seshamma Smaraka Nidhi Trust." Under the Umbrella of this Trust, he established a High School, a College, a Hospital, a Yoga Hall etc imparting education, health and employment to the people of Bellur. Today I am going to guide you to the trip of Bellur through the lenses of my camera. These two idols of Saraswati, the Goddess of Knowledge and Lakshmi, the goddess of Wealth gives the first darshan on the walls of BKSSNT entrance. And rightly so, Guruji's Trust imparts the wealth of health throu...

A Tribute to Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar

B.K.S. Iyengar a renowned yogacharya needs no introduction to the yoga world. Born on December 14, 1918 in a remote village of Bellur took his name and fame to the entire world. All his life he strive hard to take yoga to every individual across the world. Last year on 20 th of August 2014, he left his mortal body leaving his students and followers in a grief. I first met Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar on Guru Poornima day 4 years ago in Pune. Commemorating Guru Poornima 2015 on 31 st July and his first anniversary on 20 th of August 2015, I am presenting a collection of photos as a tribute to our beloved Guruji Sri. B.K.S. Iyengar. I love to capture the action found in the nature as it is so realistic and dynamic. It doesn’t pose for the camera to capture as humans do. But I found Guruji an exception in this case. I always enjoyed taking his snaps and filming him every time I get the opportunity. It is a sheer joy and deligh...
