New Sense

Rain, Flowers and Macro are possibly my most favorite combinations when it comes to photography. This photograph was taken during a brief rain shower at a famous tourist spot in Kodagu(Coorg) called “Raja’s Seat“.

Unfortunately for her, this was one story that was going to be repeated over and over again…

This picture taken at Muzhappilangad beach around a year ago… Another one of my favorite macro shots

As the sun was setting over the beautiful hills of Hampi, this monkey along with its troop of fellow monkeys sat and waited for tourists to throw them a snack.

This picture was taken on one of the highest points near the main complex of Hampi.

Ps: The title is inspired by mythological story… any guesses to which one?

Here are a few of the photos I took during my new year trip to Hampi. The true beauty of the place can never be entirely captured in pictures… The only way to truly appreciate the brilliance of the place is to see it in person.
