Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Trivandrum
The Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple is one of my favorite temples, mainly because I lived around the temple for so many years and the festivals of the temple were my childhood fantasies. The notable festival is the Aaarattu festival and Navarathr... Comment - Like

We had several plans in mind for this year end holidays. Nothing worked out due to various factors. One of them was a trip to Delhi. The ticket costs were prohibitive and we dropped that.

During my short stay in Australia, I got a chance to take some pictures of Australian birds. These are mostly shot in the evenings when I get some time to roam around. This will be the first time I specifically shoot birds. Spent a fair bit of time tracking them in Sydney harbor and Canberra t... Comment - Like
