In the Run of Kutch, Gujrat, under the umbrella of beautiful multicolor sky with sun showers its evening rays stand the camels often referred to as ships of the deserts, decorated to appear attractive in the white sheet of salt spread all around for miles. The picture has an amazing feel of the desert life!

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.
Fishing boats near the island of Beyt Dwarka at the mouth of the Gulf of Kutch off the coast of the western Indian state of Gujrat, India.
A couple of Cheetal deer. Shot taken on a recent visit to Gir Wildlife Sanctuary , the home of the Asiatic Lion, in the western Indian state of Gujrat
Sadly, the lions were invisible ( we did hear a couple of roars:-) ) but we saw a fair number of deer, peacocks and other birds.
I am no wildlife photographer but these deer were fairly close and I managed to capture them.:-)
A Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus) was framed right after the take off with a feeling of the motion. It was difficult to approach the giant bird and I had to manage myself really close to the ground almost crawling out there to get the perfect low angle. I love the beautiful posture of the bird and the ambience with matching tones. Pics was taken near Dwarka sector wetlands in Gujrat, India.
I am back from a trip to the western Indian state of Gujrat. It was a hectic trip and sadly I hardly got an opportunity to use my camera.:-)This was one of the very few shots I managed to take.A fishing boat in Dwarka.
Have a wonderful weekend dear friends.:-)

I wish I had a bit better salt condition. This is a very interesting location. A massive plane that gets flooded with sea water during monsoon and later in summer the water evaporates to leave the salt all over the plane. However it doesn't happen all the years. So to get the best salt condition one has to really get local news and get there with last minute plan to see the best salt condition. Now for me, that was not really the only location to visit in Gujrat and I mixed this trip with my visit to India for some other reason. So I had to settle with what I could find. I did look around a bit to get some better salt patch. I had to walk around a bit to find one and off course I tried to get away from the main tourist spot. It is actually easy as most of the people end up within 10 minutes of walk from the main road. So if you walk a bit more you have already left 99% crowd behind.
We took a camel ride, so we asked our camel man to give a bit of pose with the camels to make them as subject. I do have several images from middle east with camels a bit far from the camera. So in this case I wanted to have the camels a bit closer. I wonder, maybe I should have asked them to be a bit further. However the camels are not really object here, rather one of the main subject. That is why I wanted them to be more prominent in the frame.
Stay safe, comply with the authority strictly, stay at home, stop the chain of the virus.
Take care and help the society to recover from the crisis.
Please have a look at my website www.avisekhphotography.com for all my recent works.
Have a nice weekend.

We all had one in every class. Typically his hand would go up every time the teacher asked any question. Hard not to dislike them.

I was fed up with distance teaching as I am human and love to teach human rather than machine. So, I was seeking chance to switch my job. Allhamdullilah I have joined University of Gujrat-Punjab-Pakistan as Lecturer.
This is another achievement in my life.
A beautifully decorated stepwell situated in Gujrat, India. These wells were also venues for colourful festivals and sacred rituals at one time.
Civilization in the Indian subcontinent is almost as old as the human civilization! The scientific acumen and the city planning of our ancestors are mind boggling! The concept of rainwater harvesting was known to the Indians since the Harappan time (The ‘Greath Bath of Harappa-Mohenjo-Daro in 2000-3000 B.C). The rock cut step wells (steps leading to a large reservoir that used to hold rain water and used for drinking and several other purposes) started from 200 AD . Many step wells ('Vav' in Gujrathi, Baoli in Hindi) in the Indian subcontinents, particularly in semi arid region, demonstrate architectural splendor! The scientific designs of the colossal structure around the step well were so robust that these structures survived earth quakes and other natural hazards for several hundreds of years. This photo depicts a step well and the structure around this that was built in 1498-99 in the village Adalaj (now in Ahmedabad in the Indian state of Gujrat). The five storied structures with a centrally located well was constructed by Rana Veer Singh of the Vaghela dynasty and the muslim king Mahmud Begada. The magnificent five storied structures, curved out of sand stone, represent the amazing architectural design and exquisite Indo-Islamic artwork. This huge building is believed to be used for performing rituals, festivity and other purposes.
In this photo fourth floor of the structure is seen . Note as to how the design of the structure allows maximum penetration of sun light that was necessary to illuminate the floors.
