The ceremony occurs daily at dusk at many revered sites such as Haridwar, Varanasi, Vrindavan, etc. I made this particular photo in Vrindavan on a sacred bank of the River Yamuna. A higher vantage point helped me capture the ceremony with the dusk sky, and the extreme fire flame provided enough illumination to light up the faces of the devotees.” <br />http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/countries/your-india-photos<br />Photograph by Satyaki Basu, My Shot<br />« The Indian bride's hands are decorated with mehndi on the day of her marriage when she leaves her parents' home and goes with her husband to start a new life.

This has recently escalated into a dangerous nuclear arms race. <br />http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/south_asia/2002/india_pakistan/timeline/default.stm<br />Summary<br />The Indian subcontinent was partitioned into Hindu-dominated but nominally secular India and the newly created Muslim state of Pakistan after India’s independence from Great Britain in 1947. Severe rioting and population movement ensued and an estimated half a million people were killed in communal violence. About a million people were left homeless. Since partition, the territory of Jammu and Kashmir has remained in dispute, with Pakistan and India both holding sectors.<br /> http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/south_asia/2002/india_pakistan/timeline/1947.stm<br />All about tensions between Pakistan and India, I found it very interesting.<br />Indian Cooking Recipe : Liver Masala<br />Ingredients : 500 gm liver2 medium-sized onions2 tbsp ginger garlic paste 1 tsp red chilli paste1 tsp cumin seeds paste1 tbsp sugar1 tbsp vinegarcoriander leaves (chopped)4 tbsp oilsalt to taste<br />Method : Boil the liver in salted water till it is almost tender.
