The village of Sadashivgad
The village school
Break time
The market at Goa
Fire temple at Gokarna
What's in the purse?
Ceremonial chariot
Inside the temple
Taxi stand
The classic motorbike of the region. Assembled in India from UK parts.
The limestone formations of Yana, Sahayadri mountains
This is a holy site with a temple carved inside the mountain
A Sunday destination for families
Caps made of coconut fiber.
Salt fields
Om beach
Laying on the beach
Dinner has been caught
Kochi, state of Kerala
The historic quarter of Fort Cochin
Gorgeous inner courtyards in old colonial Portuguese homes
A giant crab made of plastic residues reminds passersby of the fragility of the oceans and the problem of un-managed waste
to little effect.
The Chinese fishing nets.
The catch is for sale
The synagogue and the old Jew Town
Ready to explore the Backwaters of Kerala, sometimes compared to the Louisiana "bayous"
The Kettuvallams (houseboats) are former barges used to transport rice
Dense vegetation floats at the surface
A famished puppy had been waiting for the boat to moore
The cultivable land is lower than the water level and protected by a mud dyke.
The local water bus, literally a decommissioned bus sitting atop a metal barge
Mumbai, formerly Bombay, a bastardization of the Portuguese "Bom Bahia". Mumbai was a local deity.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly Victoria Terminus. How else to call a train station in the British Raj?
Chic residential neighbourhood of Malabar Hills
The single-family residence, 27 story, 400,000 square feet of interior space, priced at US$2 billions, of Mukesh Ambani, the 5th wealthiest individual in the world (Forbes 2005).
The Gateway of India
Since the attacks of 2008, visitors are screened by police.
Built in 1924 to commemorate the landing of King George V thirteen years earlier (the project was a bit delayed)
The Taj Mahal Hotel, target of a 2008 attack by a Pakistani terrorist group
167 hostages perished
Organized chaos
Dhobi Ghat, Mumbai's open-air laundromat
The washers, or Dhobis, work in the open to wash the clothes from hotels and hospitals.
Rows of concrete wash pens, each fitted with its own flogging stone.
Street hairdresser
The promenade on Back Bay
Mumbai's fog
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
