2nd Century CE, Bhuteshvar Mathura - Procreate

[Censored with clothes cause Tumblr :|]

Got super late so couldn't go to vrindavan buttttttt went to janmabhoomi mandir and girraj maharaj mandir - and the climbing up the govardhan parvat was insane 💀 imagine slippery rocks and small ones too + monkeys and just UP local men climbing up and down laughing while you're hoping you don't slip and crack open your head , but i climbed up first and also came down first hehe:))

The last pic's background is not a white wall it was so freaking foggy the whole background came out white in all other pictures as well which is why it looks like a solid white wall

And the pujari there then told the whole story of how maharaj girraj comes here to rest at night and more stuff

Spoiler alert: came home and bawled my eyes out because i miss it and radha krishna of janmabhoomi mandir were just so beautiful i couldn't take my eyes off of them AND got unki chadhi hui mala so that was really really amazing 🩷🩷

love and craftsmanship

that something we call art

is born.

But now

scrub these words to a blur

and see what then holds up

of things just said.

Crumbling leaves, the rubble.

Nothing but an undertone,

all else a bestowal, a gift,

a vision that you’ve never seen before,

a young orchard

looming pink at dawn—

fruitless yet so hopeful,

a landscape

awaiting its meaning,

an eye with its own

undeniable thirst.”
