Postcards From Gudi Padwa Shobha Yatra 2016

Gudi Padwa is a Maharashtrian Festival that marks the beginning of Hindu New Year. It is believed that on this very day Lord Brahma created the Universe. Therefore for Hindus, this day carries special importance.

Gudi Padwa is celebrated as Ugadi by the people of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

As part of the festive celebrations in Maharashtra, grand processions called Shobha Yatras are held.

I witnessed one such magnificent procession in a western suburb of Mumbai. Sharing a few postcards from the procession.

Pray. Coz you're never too lost to be saved.

Photo Walk: Juhu Beach

I spent this Sunday evening on the overly crowded Juhu Beach, capturing beautiful moments in my lens.

Presenting some clicks from the photo walk........

Hawker

Bubbles

The portrait of this kid is my personal favorite. This cute boy was baffled and amused as a hawker in vicinity blew bubbles with the colorful soap water.....

The innocence and curiosity in his eyes just melted my heart!

Siblings playing in sand

Sky was equally fascinating.... Hundreds of colorful balloons bedecked the sky.

Finally the evening came to a beautiful end as the sun set leaving the sky crimson.....
