Sarada Sarovar

Photography, Authorship and Copyright Notice : All Rights Reserved : Satya Sarada Kandula The vacant sites around my house, fill up with water during the rains and create an eco-system par excellence. With frogs eating mosquitoes and cranes eating frogs. Nowadays dogs too hunt in these waters. And when the fish and crabs grow big, […]

Giving Books to City Central Library, Kodigehalli

Photography, Authorship and Copyright Notice: All rights reserved – Satya Sarada Kandula. Most of the folks we saw were reading newspapers and one boy was reading a textbook. But the librarian assured us that people do borrow and read books. So if you are looking to give away books, that could be a choice for […]

Low Key Ganesha Celebrations in Kodigehalli

This time round, there was not much money to spend, so Ganesha celebrations were not much at all. Also something appears to have limited the loudspeaker religion. Now songs or sounds at all. Creation and Copyright Notice : Images and Content : Satya Sarada Kandula

Another happy sleeping dog!

I am fascinated by sleeping dogs and sleeping people too actually! The trick is to take the picture without waking them up with the shutter sound. There is a kannada song, Tutthu Anna Tinnoke…, it says that you need a morsel of food to eat, a gup of water to drink, a piece of cloth […]

Be it ever so humble.,

.. there is no place like home! When rural workers come to the cities to make some extra money, they use their familiar hut building techniques and the material easily and cheaply available near the construction sites. The huts of the villages are stunningly beautiful and elegant with the mud and thatched roofs and decorations. They are very carefully built. […]

The rain, the welcome rain!

On the 22nd of April I pleased Indra (Rain) so much that He visited us for 18 hours. I may have simultaneously annoyed Agni (Electricity). He not only stayed out of our power lines for 18 hours, but now plays hide and seek every few minutes. The lesser mortals think it is a cable fault. […]

Naga Devatas

Behind all the Nagin, Punnami Nagu, style of movies.. there is a strong Naga or Snake Worship culture., Very strong in modern Kishkinda (Karnataka – Andhra). There is always a big tree nearby.   for more pictures of Naga Devatas:  See Also: http://satyaphoto.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/temples-around-dharmaraya-temple/ http://satyaphoto.wordpress.com/2009/05/09/dharmaraya-temple-in-bangalore/
