Namaste नमस्ते

नमस्ते
Namaste


I know I took my trip to India forever ago - but I don't think I'll ever shake the vivid and colorful images and sights from my subconscious, and I had the nostalgia to bring them back to the forefront. Just a little bit of color for your viewing pleasure! Click on any of the pictures to see the full version!



yummmmmm












itty bitty little 'village' in the Himalayan Mountains



The children of this village





One of my favorite pictures, could be in a National Geographic!






The organization the I went over with - CFHI













Orphan boys affiliated with the Parmarth Niketan in Rishikesh




Contrast these women, likely visiting Rishikesh as their yearly holy pilgrimage, with the woman on the bench.







Rishikesh and the Ganges River


Rice fields on a trek in the Himalayan Mountains



Pradeep - notice his school affiliations!



Hemanth in the foreground - trying on her old wedding Saree, and the local OB-GYN, her childhood playmate, in the background
