A visit to historical city of Varanasi, located at the confluence of rivers Varuna , Assi and finally on banks of maa Ganga never ceases to surprise you with bathing ghats, temples, monuments, rituals, food, architecture.....& many more
Leaving behind the bustling streets and tantrum of town .A stroll in the bylanes one can get a insight of local life and rich folklore entwined to it.
The narrow alleys, leading to ghats, the mansions, doors and windows tell stories of bygone era. They draw your attention and fascinates you, as it happened to me during my recent visit to Kashi, popularly known as Banaras.It is not only the aesthetic beauty but also the architecture style and cultural richness that they depict even today
Join me on this visual journey as I explore the priceless treasures - graffiti, paintings, old houses, and beautiful doors that adorn the streets of Banaras
The pretty patterns and local engineering will leave your spellbound !
While roaming around in the back lanes of the ghats, a small entrance to a home in Banaras
Stop and appreciate the art of artists !
Gorgeous colours Yellow, Pink,Green, Cream. Who said black is not beautiful !
Truly Architectural marvel with vibrant colours and massive doorways !.Isnt it beautiful ?
So Colorful !
Who said black and white is old fashion ?
Kaledioscope of colours; my heart did a little dance when I compiled this palette
A welcome sign or go green inititave of our ancestors !
A 10 feet massive door, colourful and artistic !. Still attractive
House of Arts !
Finally i made a straight frame! The narrow lanes with constant activity made it really difficult for me to click pictures.
Most of these old doors were locked. I wondered who owned these palatial homes and left with many unanswered questions.
Master of art - Owner of house is a connoiseur of art
Janitors at the entrance of the house !
Is it a house or a temple with graffitis of gods and goddesses.....?. Divinity in art
Defacing the wall and art with posters.Isnt it ugly affair !
Incredibly Cream on yellow.A traditional door with a european architecture touch.
Modern houses have too many locks, where as old houses no locks at all. Reminds of Rama Rajya
Too many locks,not enough keys - Sarah Dessen
Abandoned houses and doors ways teeming with life
Reminds me of a popular quote of great inventor Alexander grahambell
When a door is a closed.A small window is open. A message with says dont lose hope !
Aimless walks without a plan and purpose are a great way to spot these timeless doors.
A strong gutt feeling in me, back in time as I wandered through the narrow lanes, weathered walls, intricately carved wooden doors, and fading frescoes told tales of a bygone era. As I peered through the intricate iron grills,silence envelops me.
I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of nostalgia.
