200914

My area of interest in photography is not very particular but i have
decided to click for the basic historical structures.
the structures which are one of the most beautiful and can be
considered as the base for the development of architecture. Nalanda
and Rajgir, are situated in Bihar.
These places display the historical significance of Bihar, these
places are related to the Buddhist Architecture right from the Ancient
period, from the Mauryan dynasty i.e. Ashokan period. In Nalanda we
have the most premitive remains of the University, The Nalanda
University. coming to Rajgir (previously called as Rajgriha) we have
beautiful Stupa, which relates the world to the Buddhism. Near to
Rajgir there is a place called Bodhgaya (12 km from Gaya) there we
again have the buddhist architecture. here different countries have
made the Temple for Buddha in their own styles. so a real combination
of different temple styles can be covered hare. also in Gaya we have a
place called Vishnupad which is supposed to be the place where the
soul gets peace and frees itself from the world, i.e. no re-birth.
Here we have a big temple of Lord Vishnu.
So with my trip to Nalanda, Gaya and Rajgir i will be able to cover
the historical sites of Bihar, and show the architecture of these
places from the time of Ashokan Empire to now.

Jurors' comments (consolidated):
"Good lighting effects, good compositions."

"These pictures does not generate interest to discover and explore further. It seems to be telling me to just stop, watch and go.Nothing personal here. "

"The first pic does not look like an architectural composition at all. The second one is good. Nice silhouettes and lighting; The 3rd one is pathetic. The 4th pictures conjures up a very nice idyllic setting. The trees framing the building adds another dimension to the picture."
