Daily life on the street
Ahmedabad is the largest city and former capital of Gujarat. It is the administrative headquarters of the Ahmedabad district and the seat of the Gujarat High Court. With a population of more than 6.3 million and an extended population of 7.2 million, it is the sixth largest city and seventh largest metropolitan area of India. Ahmedabad is located on the banks of the Sabarmati River, 30 km from the state capital Gandhinagar.
Ahmedabad has emerged as an important economic and industrial hub in India. It is the second largest producer of cotton in India, and its stock exchange is the country's second oldest. The effects of liberalisation of the Indian economy have energized the city's economy towards tertiary sector activities like commerce, communication and construction.

More about Sonepur Mela on my website: www.maciejdakowicz.com/sonepur-mela/
Sonepur Mela is one of Asia's largest cattle fairs and is held in the Indian state of Bihar. The fair starts on Karthik Purnima (Kartika Poornima, the full moon day) in November and lasts for around a month. It begins on the full moon day as a religious Hindu festival. Thousands of pilgrims make offerings and take a ritual bath in Gandak river, near its confluence with the Ganges. Numerous tantriks practise black magic to remove the evil energies from the pilgrims and resolve their problems. There are also many holy men (sadhus) and religious gurus with followers in their own camps, praying, chanting and meditating. Spiritual activities are the main point of the fair for a couple of days. When all pilgrims are gone back to their towns and villages the religious event transforms itself into a large fair trade and amusement park which continues for about a month.

from a single raw. since this was through a car windshield it isnt the cleanest picture, but ah well..!
I spent a lot of my time looking for interesting and unusual scenes of daily life in India to photograph while traveling around the country on the tour bus. Here is another image from this set. It was photographed somewhere between Agra and Bharatpur.
While pursuing this "project", I was intrigued by the abundance and variety of small shops, the dress of the locals population, their activities, the unusual vehicles dotting the roads, the cows and other animals on the streets, the diversity of colours and textures everywhere, and everything else that makes India so fascinating.
