Apparently, this is one of the earliest known photographs of the sacred Kedarnath Dham, taken in 1882.
CouldnтАЩt take my eyes off it.
No roads. No railheads. No helicopters.
Just the abode of Lord Shiva, cradled by the Himalayas
Back then, the yatra demanded time, endurance, & faith. The journey wasnтАЩt incidental; it WAS the pilgrimage.
Today, access is easier. And thatтАЩs a good thing because it opens the experience to many more.
But perhaps something still needs preserving?
The ability to slow down & savour the experience of traveling.
Because journeys are about who we become along the way.

In Thiruvananthapuram stands the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, where architecture meets astronomy.
On equinoxes, the setting sun aligns precisely with the templeтАЩs structure, appearing through a sequence of windows in timed intervals, an event often described as тАЬSuryasmaranam.тАЭ
Built centuries ago, but it reflects a sophisticated understanding of solar movement, geometry and orientation.
Comforting that science and spirituality werenтАЩt separate pursuits. They coexisted, and often reinforced each other.
IтАЩm putting this firmly on my own urgent bucket list: to be there on one of the two equinox days. I missed the spring equinox just this past friday. But I have two chances every year.
Calendar marked.

#WATCH | Washington, DC | On India-Pakistan conflict, former Pentagon official and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Michael Rubin, says, "This wasn't a conflict which India wanted. This was a conflict that was foisted upon India. Every country has the right to defend its citizens. It doesn't differentiate between whether a formal army attacks the country or whether a terrorist army attacks the country. But ultimately, it's the job of India to draw a red line and say no, we will never tolerate terrorist attacks coming across our border, so India did what was absolutely necessary."
