Hawa Mahal in Jaipur, also known as the Pink City, is a very important monument of the city. The monument is five stories high and the front of the monument is delicately carved with beautiful motifs. It is an outstanding example of the Rajput style of architecture. Hawa Mahal is not exactly a palace but more like a screen of superbly sculpted windows that look like the front of a palace. The palace was built for the royal ladies of Rajasthan to view the busy city life from inside a veil. The panoramic view of the pyramid shaped palace of winds looks brilliantly magnificent. Blue sky forming the background of this pink sandstone structure makes it appearance mystic and beautiful!

Chhatris are elevated, dome-shaped pavilions used as an element in Indian architecture. Chhatris were commonly used to depict the elements of pride and honor in the Rajput architecture of Rajasthan. They are used widely, in palaces, in forts, or to demarcate funerary sites. Chhatris originated in Rajasthani architecture where they were memorials for kings and royalty. Later they were adapted as a standard structure in all buildings in Rajasthan and most importantly in Mughal architecture. These Chhatris in Hawa Mahal in Jaipur are in the interior of the palace. Made of red and pink sandstone they stand tall in the courtyard!

Sadly, we have to leave the beach and travel to the last destination of this Indian trip. It was bittersweet for me. But along with spending time on a house boat, I wanted to revisit the beautiful city of Cochin.
Cochin is rich in history from the days of sea faring trade and despite adapting to modern technology it remains a charming and almost quaint city. Along the short journey to reach the city, there were many shops and beautiful handicrafts to buy.
I have now been to India four times. At first, the Hindu gods bewildered me. There are so many. Then some started to become familiar to me like old friends. I began to smile when I recognized them.
Ganesha is one of the best known deities in India. He is the god of beginnings and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He also is the patron of letters. He seems to do all of this effortlessly in this statue, doesn't he?

Dussehra, also called Vijayadashmi, is one of the fascinating festivals of India and is celebrated with joy and enthusiasm for ten continuous days.
The first nine nights are spent in the worship of goddess Durga and hence these nights are known as "Navaratri". This festival falls in the month of Ashwin (September / October).
The tenth day of the Dassera day is in honour of Durga Devi.
It also commemorates the death of the evil king Ravana along with his son Meghanath and brother Kumbhakaran, at the hands of Rama.
The farmers invoke her blessings because this festival coincides with the period of rest and leisure after their strenuous work in the fields. The farmers with her blessings wait with tremendous hopes for a bountiful harvest.
Legend of Dusshera Festival
According to the Ramayana, Rama was the exiled prince of Ayodhya. While living in the forest, his wife Sita was abducted by Ravana, the demon king of Lanka. Rama, assisted by an army of monkeys, attacked Lanka to rescue her.
A fierce battle ensued between the two armies for many days as it was proving very difficult to beat the mighty Ravana. Rama then prayed for nine days to nine different aspects of Durga and accumulated enough strength to defeat Ravana.Durga divulged the secret to Ram how he could kill Ravana.
Then after vanquishing him, Ram with Sita and Laxman returned victorious to his kingdom of Ayodhya on Dassera day. Therefore, the festival of Durgotsava and Dassera is celebrated more in honour of Prabhu Ramchandra than Durgadevi .
Ramalila, a dance-drama narrating the story of Rama's life according to the Ramayana, is enacted for the nine days preceding Dussehra. Almost every area stages its own version of the play, preparations for which take place many days in advance.

Speechless witnessing a new dawn!!!
Witnessing heaven giving birth to a new day.
To everything… there is a season,
I pounder…
A time to plant
and a time to harvest…
A time to embrace the light
and a time to watch the clouds…
“A time to cast a rock and count the ripples”
The enchanting glow of a morning sun,
the warmth of a wondrous fog
over a calming yet vigorous crop .
The constant reminder of a privileged time…
Witnessing yet another majestic dawn!
To everything… there is a season
I pounder…
“A time to cast a rock and count the ripples”
