We were in my favourite place in the world - Himachal Pradesh - for a couple of days recently.
This is a view of the beautiful Kangra valley with the magnificent Dhauladhar Ranges as a backdrop.
Have a wonderful new week dear friends.
The Dhauladhar range is one of the ranges of the Middle Himalayas,.They lie entirely in the state of Himachal Pradesh in India.They are distinctive in their typical dark granite rocky formations with a remarkably steep rise culminationg in streaks of snow and ice at the top of their crested peaks.The elevation of the Dhauladhars ranges from around 3500 metres to nearly 6000 metres avove sea level.They are best seen from the beautiful Kangra valley from where they appear to shoot up almost vertically.

More about Sonepur Mela on my website: www.maciejdakowicz.com/sonepur-mela/
Sonepur Mela is one of Asia's largest cattle fairs and is held in the Indian state of Bihar. The fair starts on Karthik Purnima (Kartika Poornima, the full moon day) in November and lasts for around a month. It begins on the full moon day as a religious Hindu festival. Thousands of pilgrims make offerings and take a ritual bath in Gandak river, near its confluence with the Ganges. Numerous tantriks practise black magic to remove the evil energies from the pilgrims and resolve their problems. There are also many holy men (sadhus) and religious gurus with followers in their own camps, praying, chanting and meditating. Spiritual activities are the main point of the fair for a couple of days. When all pilgrims are gone back to their towns and villages the religious event transforms itself into a large fair trade and amusement park which continues for about a month.

Daily life on the street
Ahmedabad is the largest city and former capital of Gujarat. It is the administrative headquarters of the Ahmedabad district and the seat of the Gujarat High Court. With a population of more than 6.3 million and an extended population of 7.2 million, it is the sixth largest city and seventh largest metropolitan area of India. Ahmedabad is located on the banks of the Sabarmati River, 30 km from the state capital Gandhinagar.
Ahmedabad has emerged as an important economic and industrial hub in India. It is the second largest producer of cotton in India, and its stock exchange is the country's second oldest. The effects of liberalisation of the Indian economy have energized the city's economy towards tertiary sector activities like commerce, communication and construction.
