Junagadh (Inde) - En redescendant du fort de Junagadh par une ruelle sombre et étroite, j'ai croisé le regard de cette jeune femme assise sur un muret en pierres. J'ai immédiatement vu que je pourrais exploiter la présence à l'arrière plan d'une bâche de chantier. La jeune femme a pris la pose dès que j'ai braqué mon appareil photo.
Junagadh (India) - Coming down from Fort Junagadh by a dark and narrow lane, I met the gaze of this young woman sitting on a low stone wall. I immediately saw that I could exploit the presence of a construction tarp in the background. The young woman struck a pose as soon as I pointed my camera.

This is the Bahauddin Maqbara (mausoleum) from the Mahabat Maqbara Complex in the town of Junagadh in the state of Gujrat, India. The Nawabs of the Babi Dynasty ruled the erstwhile Junagadh state.
The complex contains two mausoleums.The main is the Mahabat Maqbara which houses the grave of Nawab Mahabat Khan II and the Bahauddin Maqbara containing the grave of his Vizier Sheikh Bahauddin Hussain Bhar. The tombs were built between 1878 to 1896.They are exquisite buildings known for the amalgamation of Indo-Islamic styles with considerable European (Gothic) influence.
The main tomb was very near a boundary wall and difficult to photograph.However,Sanjay did manage a shot and I will share it next.

Junagadh (Inde) - Je ne photographie quasiment jamais les gens de dos. Je trouve que ces photos -sauf exception - sont rarement intéressantes.
J'étais assis sur un banc dans l'enceinte de la citadelle attendant mes compagnons de voyage, lorsque ce jeune couple est arrivé pour profiter de la vue sur la ville située en contrebas. Lorsque la jeune femme s'est avancée pour prendre place à son tour sur la muraille, le vent s'est levé et a agité son sari. C'est ce mouvement du vêtement, associé à une lumière orageuse qui ont retenu mon attention.
Junagadh (India) - I hardly ever photograph people from behind. I find these photos rarely interesting.
I was sitting on a bench inside the citadel awaiting my traveling companions, when this young couple arrived to enjoy the view of the city below. When the young woman came forward to take her place in her turn on the wall, the wind rose and waved her sari. It was this movement of the garment, associated with a stormy light that caught my attention.
Junagadh (Inde) - Ces hommes que l'on aimerait pas croiser dans une ruelle sombre en pleine nuit se sont révélés d'une extrême gentillesse et d'une très grande courtoisie. Une preuve supplémentaire, si besoin en était, qu'il ne faut jamais se fier à sa première impression.
Mais il est vrai qu'avec de telle gueules, je les vois très bien tourner dans les films de gangsters dans une production bolliwoodienne.
Junagadh (India) - These men whom we would not like to cross in a dark alley in the middle of the night have proved to be extremely kind and very courteous. Further proof, if need be, that you should never trust your first impression.
But it is true that with such faces, I see them very well turn in gangster films in a Bolliwoodian production.
Located in Uparkot area of Junagadh in Gujarat, Jama Masjid is a trademark monument of the city. Built in yellow sandstone, the mosque boasts of a spacious courtyard covered in white marble and a huge ablution tank in the premises. The inner walls have intricate carvings and the central dome is carved in the shape of a lotus flower.
Junagadh (Inde) - Portrait d'un "touriste" indien venu en pèlerinage à Junagadh.
Avec cette photo, je commence une série de portraits posés d'indiens rencontrés au hasard de mes balades photographiques.
Je préfère les portraits plus spontanés. Mais comme je n'aime pas voler mes photos, je discute beaucoup avec les personnes que j'envisage de photographier. Bien entendu, une telle approche induit des portraits un peu statiques. Ensuite, habitués à ma présence, que les gens se détendent et reprennent une attitude plus naturelle. C'est à ce moment que je prends à leur insu, sans me cacher pour autant, les scènes et portraits plus naturels.
Ces photos posées je les ai longtemps écartées de mes sélections. Et puis en consultant mes archives, j'ai réalisé que ces portrait "convenus" n'étaient pas aussi inintéressants que je le pensais. Chez les indiens, la pose leur donne une certaine prestance.
Junagadh (India) - Portrait of an Indian "tourist" who came on pilgrimage to Junagadh in the state of Gujarat.
With this photo, I begin a series of posed portraits of Indians encountered at random during my photographic walks.
Usually I prefer more spontaneous portraits. But since I don't like stealing my photos, I chat a lot with the people I plan to photograph. Of course, such an approach induces somewhat static portraits. Then, accustomed to my presence, that people relax and resume a more natural attitude. It is at this moment that I take without their knowledge, without hiding myself for all that, the more natural scenes and portraits.
These photos posed I have long excluded from my selections. And then by consulting my archives, I realized that these "agreed" portraits were more interesting than I thought. Among the Indians, the pose gives them a certain presence.
Junagadh (Inde) - Un dernier portait posé pour mette un terme à cette série.
Cet homme est un porteur. Lorsque je l'ai rencontré, il attendait le client. Son métier consiste à transporter avec un collègue, les personnes qui souhaitent se rendre au sommet du mont Ginar. Une montagne sacrée pour les hindous et les jaïns.
Il y a 10.000 marches à gravir pour parvenir au sommet : les personnes âgées ou à la santé précaire font appelle à un "doli" (chaises à porteur). Avant de prendre place dans la chaise, le "passager" est pesé pour déterminer le prix de la course.
Junagadh (India) - A last portait posed to put an end to this series.
This man is a carrier. When I met him, he was waiting for the client. His job is to transport with a colleague, people who want to go to the top of Mount Ginar. A sacred mountain for Hindus and Jains.
There are 10,000 steps to climb to reach the top: the elderly or in poor health call for a "doli" (sedan chair). Before taking a seat in the chair, the "passenger" is weighed to determine the price of the ride.

The Gir Forest National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary (also known as Sasan-Gir) is a forest and wildlife sanctuary in Gujarat, India. Established in 1965, with a total area of 1412 km² (about 258 km² for the fully protected area (the national park) and (1153 km² for the Sanctuary), the park is located 43 km in the north-east from Somnath and 65 km to the south-east of Junagadh.
Though Gir forests are known more for the Asiatic lions, they have almost the same number of leopards - over 400 as per the 2011 census. The leopards are very shifty and nimble- much more adaptive than the rather indolent and majestic lions. That is why they are so difficult to sight. I was extremely lucky this day as I was able to sight 3 leopards. This leopard hardly remained hidden for a few seconds and I had to make the best out of the situation.
My blog on lions and leopards of Gir forest can be seen on www.jagadipsingh.blogspot.com
The mausoleums of Mahabat Khan and his Vizier, Sahib Baha-ud-din Bhai are brilliant examples of fusion among the Islamic and Gothic schools of architecture. Set within the city limits of Junagadh, these mausolea turn in to a playground for local kids in the evening.

Outside of industrial railways, there weren't many 0-6-0 tanks built for the Indian railways, and there were even fewer pannier tanks. But for some unknown reason the Jaipur State Railway took delivery of two metre 0-6-0PTs from W G Bagnall in 1942.
Later allocated to the Western Railway, TJ643 was seen dumped at Junagadh on 28 October 1978. It is now preserved at the National Railway Museum in New Delhi.
