CDP Theme Day - My favourite part of town
Home is where the heart is, sang Elvis Presley and rightly so!
I love to spend my time looking out from my window at the Banyan tree, watching nature reveal its nature.

Billboards
A slew of billboards to keep the commuter busy when the traffic doesn't move. The guy on the extreme left is a self employed recycler. He picks up all the discarded plastic and paper to dispose off at the recycling agency for a price.

Happy Dusserah
The priest lighting the lamp at the idol of Goddess Durga
Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is a major Hindu
festival celebrated in India and some other South Asian countries. It usually
falls in September or October, marking the end of the nine-day festival of
Navaratri. During Navaratri, people engage in various forms of worship, dance,
music, and cultural celebrations. The festival has different regional
variations and traditions, but the core theme is the celebration of the divine
feminine energy, often personified as Goddess Durga or her various forms. Each
night of Navaratri is dedicated to the worship of a specific form of the Goddess.
The word "Dussehra" is derived from two Sanskrit
words: "Dasha" (meaning ten) and "Hara" (meaning defeat).
Therefore, Dussehra symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.
It is also associated with the victory of Lord Rama over the
demon king Ravana, as described in the Hindu epic, the Ramayana.
