Places impact you for a variety of reasons. And the same place impacts different people in different ways. This is especially true when it comes to spiritual experiences, where every single person’s experience is unique. And personally, every spiritual experience is unique, the same person can have different deeply spiritual experiences at different places, at different times. This thought has emerged because of my own experiences over the years, but especially so this year, with different and unique experiences at various places I have visited recently. I began this year with a visit to Baroda (Vadodara) with friends. It was meant to be a relaxed trip, a touristy trip, with our sons. We enjoyed ourselves to the hilt, but the highlight of that trip was a visit to the Lakulisha temple at Pavagadh. It was the iconography of the temple that I connected with, and I spent a few hours simply lost in the details of the figures carved around the temple. There was an indefinable connect with
There are many interesting things to see and do at Lavasa, such as enjoy watersports on the lakeshore, a modern games arcade, adventure sports at Xthrill and a visit to one of India’s best nurseries. However, we were able to do none of these, and instead decided to visit Bamboosa, the bamboo craft factory and shop, which provides employment to local villagers.
Having the factory and the shop at the same place was a great idea, for we got to see the artisans at work, and got an insight into what actually goes into making all those furnitures and works of art. This is one place I would love to take Samhith to!
Instead of taking you along with me through individual photographs, as I usually do, here is a slideshow this time, made from all the photos I clicked –
