This feels like home

If I had been born two thousand years back and I had to build a house for myself, this is where I would have made it. 

The Sun

The sun struggles to break out of the clouds, to see the serene beauty, for the last time, before starting for another one of his travels around the world. Shining for one last time, before they meet again... 

The Last View

The last time I looked down from the Sahyadris. I was all down hill from there on. 

The Road Back Home

The highway from Ahmednagar 

Windmills

If there were mountains covered with thick green fresh grass on side of the road, there were windmills on the other side. 

Near Ahmednagar

I took this shot 20 kilometres from Ahmednagar. The place was so beautiful that I just never wanted to leave it. 

Sunflowers

Sunflowers are in great demand near Diwali, so most of the land was covered with them. 

Sugercane

I spent some time in a sugarcane farm. You could just walk into one of the farms, nobody has any issues with it. Nice and helpful people. 

The shephard

I asked him for a photograph and he just stood up smiling for one. 

The Waterfall

These are the Hindu caves, which also have a beautiful waterfall, right next to the caves. I wonder if this was planned, or it was just nature's way of paying tribute. 

The tree

The dying tree in front of the Jain caves. I wonder how many visitors has he seen. 

Caves

Another cave 

Bunker

I guess this was the parking lot 

Some sculptures

The writing on the wall

The Temple

You can see the cow sitting inside. This part is on the first floor inside the temple. 

The Wall

The beautifully sculpted walls of the temple 

The Elephant

This elephant was in the biggest of all the caves, which was a temple. They even charged a small fee to go inside. 

The Corridor

The corridor which leads upto the buddha, this one is from inside from the third floor of the largest cave. 

World's biggest Monolith

The three storey structure, the biggest of it's kind in the world. 

Buddhist Temple

The Buddhist Temple 

Study

One of the many brilliant caves. This one was the common study room. 

Prison

Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell, one just escapes, one is left inside the well. 

Sculptures

Some of the amazing sculptures on display at the Ellora caves
