    We even worship it: Tibetan prayer flags at Thiksey Gompa. The Ladakhi people with primarily Buddhist origins are the most hardy and peaceful folk who respect and have been at peace with nature and their surroundings since eons. A trip to a Gompa such as this can prove to be quite a spiritually uplifting experience. : by apoorv, Views[488]
         		 We cherish our conquests: A Sikh jawan hard at work to clear a treacherous mountain pass. The perpetual landslides inundating these mountains keep rendering the roads useless, and man in almost an act of defiance keeps building them back come hell or high water.: by apoorv, Views[339]

         		 A trader arrives at the Camel Trade festival in the morning with his livestock at Pushkar, Rajasthan, India. Its one of the biggest camel trade festival which attracts close to 300,000 visitors and around 20,000 camels, horses & cattle are traded in the month of November : by thirdeyeview, Views[496]
         		 The little boy in the orange beanie had been drawing a yellow school bus when we walked into his classroom at The Hope Project. There were fifteen of us Canadians crowded into their small classroom. He looked around at us nervously but continued to draw glancing at us from time to time. I asked him what he was drawing but his English was not very good. I took a video of his drawing and showed it to him. A small smile crept over his face and his two neighbours jumped to get a better look. They all showed me their pictures and watched in awe as they saw their own drawings on my little viewscreen.: by michellek, Views[919]
         		 In the middle of Hazamat Nizamuddin, a neighbourhood in Delhi, there is a community outreach centre called The Hope Project. We were given a tour of the facilities from the classrooms to the beauty school to the sewing classes. In one of the more dangerous neighbourhoods, where my teacher had her wallet stolen, it was a bastion for hope.: by michellek, Views[676]
         		 In the background of this picture, there is a little community centre situated atop a sari shop. There is a pink cement widing staircase that leads up to a verandah where two women had been pounding little pieces of dough into chapati. Every night after the puja, the community centre gives out food to the poor and homeless. We were there to help distribute the food. While waiting for everyone, I turned back and saw this group of policemen. There were non-functional metal detectors located all along the entrances to the ghats. There were policemen watching the puja from higher up with their big big guns. I snapped a picture when I finally saw one of them smile.: by michellek, Views[626]
     
    We were all packed in our car to drive back to Delhi from Jaipur. PJ, our driver, was standing guard outside as we waited for our friends visiting the monkey temple to come back down. At the base of the monkey temple, the alley was large and teeming with monkeys. A cow was meandering the dirt road and a baby monkey took a ride on a hog. The locals were beginning to crowd our car curious about who we were, where we were from and what we wanted to buy from their shop. PJ wanted us to stay in the car away from these men. But when I saw this monkey having a banana right outside our window, I jumped out.: by michellek, Views[880]
         		 When jetlag made our sleep impossible, we tagged along as a friend took a 5am tour in Varanasi, India of the ghats. The city was just waking up and yet, each junction was energetic as people headed to work or children to school. Our guide walked us through the street, nonchalantly ignoring the speeding rickshaws flying past us. It was our first day in India and the strangeness was overwhelming. This picture was taken atop a looking out point near the burning ghat. I was so stunned by all that I had seen in half an hour that I barely noticed the two goats staring me down.: by michellek, Views[551]
         		 There are estimated to be fewer than 8,000 Dongria alive today. Their way of life is still, in many ways, primitive and harsh. Many fear that modernity and development could mean an end to their ancient way of life. : by moska, Views[1541]
         		 For these people, the jungle is their life. The Dongria are animists and they worship and protect nature. Every hill is home to its own god. : by moska, Views[2338]
         		 The Dongria are great admirers of aesthetic romanticism. Women and girls use heavy ornamentation, including wearing silver earrings along the entire rim of the ear. : by moska, Views[1349]
     
    Dongria women are not only strikingly beautiful but strong as well. They contribute inside and outside the household and are on equal footing with their male counterparts; a reason why the bride price is paid to a girl's parents when she gets married which is a unique feature of their tradition. : by moska, Views[1231]
         		 The Dongria have lived in the Niyamgiri hills in a remote part of eastern India's Orissa state for centuries. They live off the land and survive by gathering fruit and selling jungle plants in the towns at the foot of the hills. The modern world has yet to reach them - there's no electricity, no school, no television, no telephones. : by moska, Views[1340]
         		 I would like to call this picture ' Generations' & the little girl on the left makes the picture for me. Her playful smile and shy expression against the wise and worldly expression of the men is a wonderful contrast. Issues around the girl child in India are serious and need a lot of attention - I hope the country realises very soon how precious their daughters are.: by chaitanyadeshpande, Views[495]
         		 The blue city of Jodhpur in the evening light - In all those little by lanes I came across a young and spirited new generation - It looks like a vast sea of blue, but every little lane has its own story to tell.: by chaitanyadeshpande, Views[469]
         		 These young boys will probably never remember me, but what I wouldn't give to be able to go back in 10 years and take a picture of them against this blue door. Their warmth & joie de vivre is there for all to see, and so is their resolve to make their dreams come true.: by chaitanyadeshpande, Views[465]
     
    This little girl was probably already working to earn her living, no doubt supporting her parents. The sack full of used bottles and boxes was her mother's and while the girl waited for her to come back, I was lucky to capture her taking a break watching the world around her.: by chaitanyadeshpande, Views[552]
         		 Captured in the by lanes, a young boy gazes out of his home above a barber-shop. The way the picture is a story of 2 halves struck me immediately. I also love the vibrant colours in the frame.: by chaitanyadeshpande, Views[628]
