Some unique trends of Old Delhi - Kabootarbazi !!!

Last weekend I visited Jama-Masjid in Old Delhi and also interacted few folks around this place. During the visit I met a very interesting family who also offered me to come on roof-top to have a different view of Old Delhi (Dilli-6).

On roof-top, there were approximately 60 pigeons. One of the gentleman also told be about a unique trend of Old Delhi. All these pigeons fly in a group and at times they make a huge groups of around 1000 pigeons. When any of the owner ask his/her group to come back, most of the others also prefer to check at home. During such flights, at times some pigeons plan to join other group and go to other house. In this case original owner loose the right to get that pigeon back. If s/he wants that pigeon back, appropriate money needs to be paid as per breed of that pigeon. And this payment has no guarantee that pigeon will not go to other groups. This thing is religiously followed in Old Delhi region !!!

More interesting stories will follow from Old-Delhi !!!

Jama Masjid - A day after Eid

This is one of the photograph taken at India's largest mosque in Old Delhi - Jama Masjid !! This place is always surrounded by pigeons flying here and there. I waited for approximately 15 minutes to take this shot as movement is random most of the times. Luckily I didn't have to wait very long to get the right composition. This is what I wanted and I was happy to see the results. Hope to visit Jama Masjid again and come up with more photographs !!!

These pigeons arrive in the morning and go away by 2pm. All our neighbours keep something for them to eat in the common courtyard in the center of 10 houses facing each other. The pigeons come to have breakfast.

Photograph of Ravi River by one of my friend who recently visited Dalhousie

On the way from Chamba to Dalhousie, my taxi-wallah stopped at a peaceful location where one could easily access the rocky banks of the river Ravi that flows along the town of Chamba. The blue waters of the river present a striking contrast againsts the brown rocks and mountains. The wide spectrum of various colors enriches this untouched rustic landscape.The river snakes through the rocks and pebbles and the mountains. It has carved its way through them across the centuries.A couple of local village boys were having a liqour party. They chose the highest of the rocks on the bank.The distant bridge and the rounded rocks make this location worth painting.The ripples in the water paint beautiful light patterns on the rocks below.As the water levels were low during this season, numerous small pools had formed on the banks. The river bed was slippery because of age old algae.These pools were the ideal play ponds for little birds. See if you can spot one in this picture.Himachal Pradesh, ravi, Chamba, Rivers, Water, Birds, Hills, himalayas

Most parrots lay their eggs in a hole high up in a tree. Others may make their nests in burrows on the ground. The smaller parrots may lay their eggs in termite nests. The eggs will hatch in three weeks...
