Somnath gate aka Ghaznin gate
picture taken through a steamy plexiglass
according to the object information plaque:
"This gate originally belonged to the tomb of Mahmud Ghaznavi at Ghazni. He died in 1030 A.D. It was brought from there by the British in 1842. It was claimed, in the historic proclamation of lord Ellenborough, the governor-general that these were the sandalwood gates of Somnath which Mahmud has taken to Ghazni in 1025 A.D. and the British had thus avenged an insult of 800 years back. This false claim was made just to win the goodwill of the Indian people. The gate is, in fact, made of local deodar wood of Ghaznin and not of sandalwood. The style of decoration bears no resemblance to ancient Gujarati woodwork. There is also an Arabic inscription carved on the upper side. It mentions Mahmud and his epithets. Sir john Marshall had placed here a notice board which described the whole episode and this gate.
It is 16-1/2 feet high and 13-1/2 feet broad and its weight is about half a ton. It is made up of geometrical, hexagonal and octagonal panels which have been fixed, one with the help of the other, into the frame, without rivets.
The idea to restore it at Somnath was ultimately given up and the gate was abandoned. Since then it is stored in this room. In no way is it related to this fort, or the Mughals and it is lying here either as a war trophy of the British campaign of 1842, or as a sad reminder of the historic lies of the East India Co."

Sunset clicked somewhere on way to Somnath, Gujarat.
After more than a year, I am back on flickr.. :)
Need to go through your photo-streams for what I missed during my absence. Thanks for your support and love.
For a long time I had not taken Nerjis out , I had to go to Brian Cable to pay my monthly subscription so I decided taking Nerjis along with my camera and my tutorials on shooting the streets ,, from my house to Somnath Lane where Brian has his office is a long brisk walk.. at some places I carried her too..
She shot Bandra Bazar Road , than she shot St Peters Church, she shot the Stanislites practicing football..she shot Brian and his sister and we returned home when it was real dark.
The sprout seller is a Marthi Manoos , he and his wife sell fresh sprouts and is an iconic spot at Bandra Bazar Road.
Bandra Bazar Road is my documentary too on the neglect apathy by our local representatives that we elected to power , and they did not care a hoot but the soul of Bandra Bazar road in deep sleep is finally awakening . Our Vote is not for making politicians rich and the rich man builders richer ,, it is for generating progress and development and not dividing us as Muslims Hindus Dalits and Christians ,,,
And Mr Narendra Modijis Swach Bharat in Bandra a BJP Constituency is million light years away.. dont ask me why .. some soul searching is required ,,
Open dirty gutters and one of the filthiest Municipal markets this poor side of Bandra .. and all this is known as Gaothan .. East Indian pride heritage gone to seed .
Who ever comes to powers as MLA here will have to Heal this part of dying Bandra rustic old Bandra .
So Nerjis will now take you all on a tour of Bandra through her vision eyes ..and the Canon EOS 60D .. the camera that has helped make her the youngest street photographer of Bandra .

Gauri Behen is an Anganwadi worker living in Wanker village in Gir
Somnath district. She is a dalit and has three daughters, her eldest daughter is
in her adolescents. Gauri Behen and her daughters never had access to a toilet
and faced many difficulties going to the bathroom, having to wait the whole day
till it became dark to relieve themselves at risk to their safety. Because of
their caste they also had to make sure that they didnāt defecate close to an
upper caste familyās land, making it even more difficult for them. After attending several meetings organised by AKPBS about sanitation and its importance she decided to construct a toilet for her family. She has built the toilet in her house and makes sure it's cleaned everyday. After experiencing first-hand the benefits of having a toilet she is telling other women who come to the Anganwadi centre where she works about the importance of having a toilet. Una block, Gir Somnath district, Gujarat.
