En esta capilla pequeña un santón me puso una pulserita, de esas que pides un deseo y no puedes romper hasta que se desate. La superstición me hace llevarla aún, dos meses y pico después¡
I had seen the Wagah Border (India-Pakistan) parade before in youtube or Tv....looked so electrifying...always wanted to go there and here i am finally on 11th june 4:30 pm.....the soldiers who were to perform the parade were tall and majestic, looked like the will do anything for India..Gradually, the people started gathering in an amphitheatre like setup, soon it turned into a cricket ground with people shouting VANDE MATARAM / HIINDUSTAN ZINDABAAD / BHARAT MATA KI JAI....it was very electrifying atmosphere...when parade started i could hear nothing, people were shouting like mad...at times i would be feeling like a proud indian there..pumped up with patriotism and at times i was feeling whether this madness has created borders....was looming in between these thoughts....but simultaneously i kept my shutter on all the time...now when i look at these pics again, i ask all the time WHY BORDERS ARE MADE ?

Odisha, tot november 2011 Orissa geheten (Odia: ଓଡ଼ିଶା), is een deelstaat van India. De staat ligt in het oostelijke deel van het land. De hoofdstad is Bhubaneswar (Bhubaneshwar). Odisha telt 41.974.218 inwoners (2011).
De staat heeft een opulent cultureel erfgoed. Het gebied, vroeger bekend als het koninkrijk van Kalinga, was het toneel van de bloedige oorlog door koning Ashoka.
Op 23 augustus 2008 werd hindoe-geestelijke Saraswati, die door veel hindoes als een messias wordt vereerd, vermoord in Kandhamal. Hoewel de moord werd opgeëist door maoïstische rebellen, namen hindoeradicalen een week later bloedig wraak op de christelijke minderheid in Kandhamal. Ongeveer honderd christenen werden vermoord en ruim driehonderd kerken aangevallen tijdens de begrafenisprocessie. Huizen van christenen werden in brand gestoken of geplunderd. Naar schatting 50.000 mensen sloegen op de vlucht. Een groep christenen, die na de aanslag was gearresteerd en veroordeeld wegens moord, werd in mei 2019 door het Hooggerechtshof van India vrijgesproken.
Odisha formerly Orissa (/ɒˈrɪsə, ɔː-, oʊ-/ the official name until 2011), is an Indian state located in Eastern India. It is the 8th largest state by area, and the 11th largest by population. The state has the third largest population of Scheduled Tribes in India. It neighbours the states of West Bengal and Jharkhand to the north, Chhattisgarh to the west, Andhra Pradesh to the south. Odisha has a coastline of 485 kilometres (301 mi) along the Bay of Bengal.The region is also known as Utkala and is mentioned in India's national anthem, "Jana Gana Mana". The language of Odisha is Odia, which is one of the Classical Languages of India.
The ancient kingdom of Kalinga, which was invaded by the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka (which was again won back from them by King Kharavela) in 261 BCE resulting in the Kalinga War, coincides with the borders of modern-day Odisha. The modern boundaries of Odisha were demarcated by the British Indian government when Orissa Province was established on 1 April 1936, consisting of the Odia-speaking districts of Bihar and Orissa Province.[18] The first of April is celebrated as Utkala Dibasa. Cuttack was made the capital of the region by Anantavarman Chodaganga in c. 1135, after which the city was used as the capital by many rulers, through the British era until 1948. Thereafter, Bhubaneswar became the capital of Odisha.

KEOLADEO N.P. chiamato anche Santuario degli uccelli di Bharatpur, ( ne
sono state censite 230 specie), patrimonio dell'umanità dell'UNESCO dal
1971.
Venne creato 250 anni fa e deve il suo nome ad un tempio dedicato a
Keoladeo / Shiva che si trova entro ai suoi confini. Inizialmente era una
depressione naturale che venne allagata quando il Maharagja Suraj Mal
nel XVIII sec. costruì una diga alla confluenza dei fiumi Gambhir e
Banganga, creando un'enorme riserva di caccia in cui i sovrani di
Bharatpur organizzavano grandi battute in onore dei vicerè britannici:
in una sola, nel 1938, il governatore lord Linlithgow abbattè oltre 4200
uccelli!

In fact, a Banjara women`s mode of dressing is regarded to be the most colorful as well as elaborate amongst all other tribal communities that are present at the moment in India.
