Happy Mahavir Jayanti
Cave 32, Shrine Mahavira Ellora Caves, Maharashtra

Excavated during 9th and 10 centuries, cave no 32 belongs to Jain Digambara sect. Known as Indrasabha, this cave has a hall at upper level which was used for religious purposes.

Jain caves (30-34) of Ellora were painted extensively on uncarved portions of walls, pillars and ceilings. Many of those paintings have survived to date. These paintings depict dancers and musicians, celestial beings, garlands, offerings and praying representations. Some of them show Tirthankaras and god Indra apart from some other gods and goddesses.

These caves are smaller than the Buddhist and Hindu caves nonetheless they feature highly detailed carvings. They are rich in architectural and devotional ideas such as pillared verandas, symmetric mandala and puja (worship). Emphasis is place on the depiction of the 24 Jinas (or Tirthankaras) apart from gods, goddesses, Yaksha and Yakshi prevalent during the period.

On the way to Kibber village from Kaza… Kibber alongwith the highest village of the world, Komik, belong to the region of Kaza which is the cultural capital of Spiti Valley in the state of Himachal Pradesh. With some differences, Spiti resembles to many parts of Ladakh. They have a harsh winter and only 3 months of summer. After which, all the main roads to outer world close. This oblige them to cultivate some grains like barley and vegetables in a very small period, harvest them and bring them to main cities like Manali before those road close which makes their life even more difficult. If they cannot bring their crops in time, it would remain in the valley and they’ve to consume themselves without being able to sell. Thanks to Atal tunnel now open, this valley along with Lahaul valley will remain open to outer world and they can bring those crops even later. This also keep open these valleys open to tourists even out of small summer season. #indiawithvivek #spitidiaries #travelbloggerlife #roadtrippin #pangonglake

Many emotions in 6 seconds… There are nine emotions in total that a Kathakali dancer is capable of expressing. Kathakali is a major form of classical Indian dance from the state of Kerala. These nine emotions are: Sringara (amour/love), Hasyam (comic), Karunam (pathetic), Raudram (furious/anger), Viram (heroic), Bhayanakam (terrible), Bibhatsam (odious), Adbhutham (wonder) and Santam (tranquility/peace). Kathakali is a blend of dance, music and acting and dramatizes stories, which are mostly adapted from the Indian epics. It is a stylised art form, the four aspects of abhinaya - angika, aharya,vachika, satvika and the nritta, nritya and natya aspects are combined perfectly. The dancer expresses himself through codified hastamudras and facial expressions, closely following the verses(padams) that are sung. #alleppey #kochidiaries #keraladiaries #kochigram #kochivibes #kerala360 #india_with_vivek
