Konark is famous for its 13th-century Sun Temple (a World Heritage Site).
The Sun Temple of Konark often called as the Black Pagoda was constructed in mid thirteenth century by Raja Narasinghs Deva-I of the Ganga Dynasty. Conceived in form of a huge chariot drawn by seven spirited horses on twelve pairs of exquisitely decorated wheels, after the mythical seven horse chariot of Sun God, the temple was a unique in its architecture and implementation.
Intricate carvings on the walls of the main temple and the Natya Mandap (a separate structure just in front of the temple) are a sight to behold. It is often considered to be the most artistically superior among the other temples of Orissa. Sun Temple has lost its many of its original structures to time and disrepair but the remaining structures and the remainder of the structures confirm till today the infinite imaginative power of the artistes of the time and their inspiring contribution to Vaisnav Culture.

shanty homes where the poverty live in India, I took this shot from my bus ride while passing a small village the shanties were situated on the edge of the village.
On the bottom right-side corner you can see some traces of burnt out fire which I believe these poor people would light a small fire to keep warm at nights especially during the winter season in Rajasthan when it gets extremely cold at nights like as low as 5 and below degrees. And also to cook their meal each day maybe just 'one meal' as that is all they can afford. But this is everyday life to them even if it's a harsh living conditions. This is the reality of how many poor people live in shanty makeshift homes in India.
Finest masala shop I came across in India. They had absolutely every spice I could imagine carefully organized in shelves and boxes.
I couldn't help myself and bought small packs of lots of varieties of masalas and currys.

Rabari temple (Dubhrej village).
Rabaris are devout Hindus. According to their myth of existence they were created by Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva, who wiped the dust and sweat from Shiva as he was meditating and fashioned the very first camel from the dust balls she collected from his body. Once Shiva had breathed life into this camel, it kept running away, so Parvati fashioned a man, and the first Rabari was given life so he could mind the camel. Keeping animals has thus always been a pious occupation and Rabaris see themselves primarily as custodians of animals during their moral existence, rather than their owners. It is also their beliefs that the mother goddess presides over them. Her advice is taken about when to start out migration, and animals are commended to her care.

Village: Anjanthalli Block: Nilokheri District: Karnal State: Haryana Country: India Date: 24th July 2014
56 years old Kamla Devi listens to messages of weather and best climate friendly crop practices on her mobile phone while working in the cowshed at her home in Anjanthalli. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to disseminate climate information, information about climate-smart technology interventions and seasonal agro-advisories for the rural farmers is part of the Climate Smart Village(CSV) programme initiated in Anjanathalli.
Local farmers are part of Farmer Participatory Evaluation of Adaptation and Risk Management Interventions in the village. Various key climate smart interventions such as zero tillage, Direct Seeded Rice (DSR), raised bed planting, residue management, crop diversification, and nutrient management have been introduced in this village.
27 year old Vinod Kumar (Kamla Devi’s son) owns 45 acres of farmland where he practices these interventions.
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) is working with communities to develop ‘Climate-Smart Villages’. These are sites where researchers, local partners, and farmers collaborate to evaluate and maximize synergies across a portfolio of climate-smart agricultural interventions. The programme aims to improve farmers’ income and resilience to climatic risks and boost their ability to adapt to climate change. Photographer: CCAFS/2014/Prashanth Vishwanathan
