Reflection of that colourful identity.   Have you ever heard of a dance form as a festival?    Yes! From the very land of royal history and heritage - Gavri, a festival with dance & drama makes itself distinct. Performed and practiced by some very aboriginal groups and tribes of Rajasthan, making the state a real versatile in the note of culture. And there many mythological faiths that actually dominate the festival where it is also believed that Goddess Gavri (Parvati) enters the body of the human and announces the importance of the festival.  I got my perfect portrait from this event, When you are getting yours ? Be alive and Clicking !!!  @portraitmood @people_vs_camera   #people_vs_camera #majestic_people #portraitsofficial #portraitmood #storiesofindia #kings_third_age #portraitinspiration #discoverportrait #profile_vision #postmoreportraits #portraitpage   #portraiture #agameofportraits   #pursuitofportraits #portraitisreligion #peopleinframe #bheel #mewar (at Rajasthan, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CovHspdysch/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jharkhand has a lot to offer, especially with its series of rock art sites. It's not just about the cave but more about how our ancestors used to live with a culture that prevails even today. Talking about the place named 'Isko' in the Hazaribagh district is the village where lies such caves. It is believed to be the shelter for primitive humans. Additionally, the cave art painting on its exterior wall is still followed and practised in many indegenous cultures of Jharkhand and Chattisgarh. For much such location, please do follow & Stay tuned !    @jharkhandtourism #jharkhand #jharkhandtourism #Jharkhand_tourism #iskocaves #hazaribagh #indeginous #adivasi #natgeotravelindia (at Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoS84eSSFjt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kartikey is quintessentially brave, intelligent and perfection personified because of this he is worshipped as the God of war and victory. A brave leader of God's force and a destroyer of demons. And I believe this Chhau dancer holds the spirit of goldy force, which has been blessed onto his character. Chhau dance has three distinct styles from the regions of Seraikella, Purulia and Mayurbhanj, the first two using masks. Its origin is traceable to indigenous forms of dance and martial practices, where its vocabulary of movement includes mock combat techniques, stylized gaits of birds and animals and movements modelled on the chores of women from local villages. Chhau is an integral part of the culture of these communities. It binds together people from different social strata and ethnic backgrounds with diverse social practices, beliefs, professions and languages. #performingarts #craftmanship #chhau #seraikellachhaudance #chhaudance #culturaldiversity #tradition #photostories_group (at Ranchi, Jharkhand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnmzPR_PM3p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“For all the splendor of their monuments, the builders have vanished.” ― Cait Stevenson In the series of Munger fort, This is what one can witness on those dark cloudy nights.

Bihar has one of the oldest civilizations in India, but its historic sites are in urgent need of conservation. In the course of my work, I had a chance to visit Munger and its fort. These monuments have witnessed a great deal over the centuries, but today they are in needof care and attention. The fort lies around 9 kilometres from the main urban settlement of Munger. Known yet ignored by the growing population, the fort has become an evening spot for locals. Once in a million days, the village and fort are visited by some eminent personality or other, but the rest of the time every day is the same. You can find a variety of people gathering here as the evening draws on. A few old people discussing religion and politics, women in separate groups discussing family affairs with understated yet heartfelt emotions, a few youths making the evening smokier, and of course the iconic Bihar sight – cattle and their owners. As the evening grows darker, silence spreads, leaving the ruin to look ever more haunted. This is how it looks at night. So, pack your gear and please capture how your village looks. Keeping shooting… keep posting!
