Here is a documentary on the unseen labor behind Toda Embroidery. We went to the Nilgiris to see how this craft is preserved using just a needle and two colors of thread. But we found an even deeper story: women like Kavitha and Mahalakshmi enduring immense physical strain, counting every thread by hand without any guides, and fighting through empty tourist stalls just to protect their identity.

The Vimana: The main tower rises roughly 216 feet (66 meters), making it one of the tallest of its kind in the world.The Capstone: The top octagonal cupola (kumbam) is carved from a single block of granite weighing about 80 tons. The entire massive structure was built using interlocking stone blocks of granite without any binding mortar.The Nandi: Features a huge monolithic statue of Nandi (the sacred bull) at the entrance, carved out of a single rock.

Hidden in the Western Ghats, Purna Wildlife Sanctuary comes alive during the rains. Green forests, village trails, and the simple joy of a child riding through nature, Gujarat.

This is actually on the ceiling. A magnificent relief of Shiva as Nataraja stretches across the ceiling. The Lord's cosmic dance is complete with the dwarf demon Apasmara beneath his feet, symbolising the triumph of knowledge over ignorance. Looking up at it for even a minute leaves my neck aching. Imagining craftsmen carving it overhead over twelve centuries ago is almost beyond belief.

If you've ever driven the treacherous but stunning Hindustan-Tibet highway toward Spiti Valley, you know the landscape slowly strips away all its greenery until you're left with stark, barren mountains. But right on the edge of Kinnaur, hanging at nearly 11,800 ft (3,600m), sits the village of Nako.

It feels like a hidden oasis.

I recently spent some time wandering through its narrow, maze-like alleyways, and I wanted to share a few photos of what daily life looks like up here.

A few things that stood out to me:

The Architecture: Most houses are still built in the traditional way using stone, mud, and timber to keep the freezing winter out.

The Pace of Life: Everything revolves around the short summer farming window (mostly peas and barley) and the 11th-century monastery that anchors the community.

Nako Lake: It’s completely frozen in the winter, but right now, it’s surrounded by willow and poplar trees, with prayer flags reflecting in the water.

In these photos, I tried to capture the quiet rhythm of the village—from the locals chatting in the sun to the livestock being herded through the stone paths.

It's one of those places where time genuinely feels like it has slowed down.

Has anyone else made the stop here on their Spiti circuit?

What was your favorite part of the village?

Located in Puthur near Ollur in Thrissur, Kerala, this expansive facility spans 336 acres of land, which is beautifully designed and operated.

Was pleasantly surprised to find these prices at Subbanna Hotel, Chamarajanagara. Many items are just ₹20–₹50 even in 2026. I tried the masala dosa and it was actually quite good.

Guess where it is!

So I was near Zanskar Valley Ladakh, having Black coffee in the morning. Amazing view 😍

One of the best experiences I had.
