Photo: In the streets of Badami
My eyes light up every time I walk through the narrow lanes adjoining the rock-cut temples of Badami. Out there, I see the everyday life unfolding in various ways from morning to evening. I see children laughing and running behind each other, little boys making their way to school, women gathering water from the street-side tap, more women cleaning the grains sitting on theĀ veranda, cows wandering aimlessly and goats leashed to prevent them from wandering aimlessly, men busy at work or lazing with a pack of cards… The small area that can crisscrossed in less than 10 minutes has so much life in it, that I don’t tire of walking back and forth a million times. Here is an image, made on one such long walk through the small alleys.
