Hands reach for the sky,
The chants fill up the space,
Seeking divinity.
Holi is a Hindu festival that is celebrated across India and in many parts of the world. However, the celebration of Holi in Vrindavan, a town in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, holds a special significance for devotees of Lord Krishna. Vrindavan is considered the birthplace of Lord Krishna, and the town is filled with temples and shrines dedicated to the deity.
During the festival of Holi, Vrindavan comes alive with vibrant colors, music, and dance. Devotees from all over India and from around the world flock to the town to participate in the festivities. The celebrations at the temples in Vrindavan are particularly noteworthy, as they offer a unique experience of Holi that is steeped in tradition and spirituality.
At the temples in Vrindavan, Holi is celebrated in a way that is deeply rooted in the mythology and legends associated with Lord Krishna. The festivities begin with a special prayer and worship ceremony, after which devotees gather in the temple courtyard to play with colors and dance to traditional Holi music. The atmosphere is filled with joy and exuberance, as devotees lose themselves in the celebration of their love for Lord Krishna.
One of the most famous Holi celebrations in Vrindavan is the Lathmar Holi, which takes place in the town of Barsana, a short distance from Vrindavan. In this unique celebration, women playfully beat men with sticks while the men try to protect themselves with shields. The tradition is said to be a reenactment of a playful encounter between Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha.
Overall, Holi in Vrindavan is an unforgettable experience that offers devotees a chance to immerse themselves in the rich mythology and traditions associated with Lord Krishna, while also celebrating the joy and exuberance of the festival of colors.

One of the breathtaking sunrises I have ever witnessed. The heavenly light and the mesmerizing lake mist rising as the sunlight kisses the lake.
Although I would have preferred shooting this with my Canon 6D, I am impressed by the picture quality from my Sony NEX. This was one shot handheld.
I love this shot. I wish I had done more detailing on it, but it came out so smooth, and clean. And I love the way the flame effects come up in the background. A combination of the fallen angel character and some of my old tech pieces.
Lives of the Gods: Divinity in Maya Art exhibit
From the text panel: Skillfully carved in silhouette on the backrest of a throne, a bearded lord and his companion observe a small supernatural creature seated between them. The diminutive figure, a messenger from the old celestial god Itzamnaaj, has a human body with winged forearms and the head of a jaguar deity. Symbols in the lord’s headdress suggest that he is impersonating Itzamnaaj while he listens to the words sent by the god himself. This visitation and performance take place in a dark mountain cave, the type of space regarded as a dwelling for the gods. Caves, and their architectural counterparts, temple chambers, were favored settings for Maya religious rituals.

The photograph was taken during Holi (the festival of Colors) in March 2017, at Nandgaon, Mathura (India) where group of people were enjoying and murmuring the hym of Lord Krishna and Goddess Radha. The Man playing the Dafli (Tambourine) was so much lost in the musical hym whose mood made me to capture this photograph

Inverbrackie, South Australia
Former Inverbrackie Caledonian Church.
Land was slowly taken up here from the early 1840s. One of the first residents was Dr William Innes, a Scot who named the locality Inverbrackie after his home in Scotland near Invergordon which is across the Firth of Moray from Nairn. The Scottish McLeods had owned Inverbrackie or Inverbreakie (spellings vary) castle from the 1300s. They were related to the Innes family. In 1699 the McLeods sold Inverbrackie Castle to Sir William Gordon who was part of the Earls of Sutherland family. Sir William Gordon renamed the castle Invergordon, hence the name of today’s Scottish town. In 1873 the remains of the 14th century castle were absorbed into a newly constructed Elizabethan style mansion. Unfortunately this was totally destroyed by fire in 1928 and the castle grounds are now the Inverbreakie Golf course on the outskirts of Invergordon. Dr Innes, James Johnston of Oakbank and others met at the tiny Payne’s Inn at Inverbrackie SA in 1846 and decided to ask the colonial government for a land grant to establish a Church of Scotland there. They got a free grant of 20 acres and £150 towards the construction of the church. The Scottish church subsequently opened in 1849 and Dr Innes was the first burial in the attached cemetery that year. The church was also used as a school as the Scots placed great importance on education. 24 children were attending the Inverbrackie School by 1851. The school closed in 1857 when the first Woodside School opened. In 1852 parishioners guaranteed a stipend to entice John Macbean from Scotland to come out as the local Presbyterian minister. A manse was built on the glebe lands for him. In 1868 Macbean got the Inverbrackie church into the Presbyterian Union of SA. He finished up as minister at Inverbrackie in 1884. Later ministers served both the Inverbrackie and Woodside Presbyterian churches. Reverend Stewart was the last minister to serve Inverbrackie between 1922 and 1926 but it is not known how often services were conducted there as the Presbyterian church in Woodside was the main one from 1878. The manse and glebe lands were sold in 1925 and the church closed permanently soon after. Miraculously this 1849 church still stands on lands adjacent to Woodside Army Barracks but it is covered with ivy. It deserves restoration by the government.
