Historical Places in India
Sundar Palaniappan is an aspiring photographer who loves to visit temples and other historical places in India. Since web, is the universal media to which people around the globe either visit to gather knowledge or to keep in touch with their close friends and relatives, I would like to avail the power of web, by putting the photos of temples and other historical places of India.
Since web allows people to publish ideas and other useful information, I decided to flaunt my ability of photography by displaying photos of temples and other historical places of India. Since, a large population of Indian origin lives outside India, who may love to visit India but because of the unavailability of the resources (especially time) not able to visit the temples and other places of interest in India.
I hope that Sundar Palaniappan’s pages could serve as an alternative to quench the thirst (or form a base) of visiting these temples and other historical places of India. I basically visit these temples and historically important places on tight budget but spend lot of time there. Being a guy from a busy town of Chennai, Tamilnadu, India, these occasional tours, bring blissfulness to the mind and the soul.

Trekking adventure
Apart from being an aspiring photographer, Sundar Palaniappan loves to do trekking in the Himalayan Ranges and other mind-boggling treks in Garhwal and Kumaon regions of Uttarakhand, HimachalPradesh, Sikkim and Nepal.
Some of the photo galleries of India
Sundar Palaniappan’s interest in the art of photography took him to Hampi ( VijayaNagar ) , Badami, Aihole ( first capital of early Chalukyas ), Pattadakal, Madurai, Kancheepuram, Darasuram, Mahabalipuram and other historical places in India.
Apart from improving these images of Temples and other historically important places of India, Sundar Palaniappan is planning to host pictures of other places of India by visiting them. You could find the complete list of galleries in the archives link.

    Valmiki Bhavan, or “Valmiki’s building,” is an ancient Hindu temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. I visited and researched this sacred site online through video tours and pictures. Built around 1970 and unaltered, this site was constructed with white marble and red stones from Rajasthan. Usually in Hindu temples, and in this particular one as well, around the interior are statues, scriptures, and other decor. From the tile to the walls, pillars and even the ceiling, the building has patterns, pictures and inscriptions. With a capacity of about 5,000 people, this large Bhavan would be considered almost empty due to the lack of furniture. There aren’t any chairs or benches to sit for the purpose of allowing space to walk and to allow people to worship in their preferential…

    Steve McCurry is a master of photography. He usually retracts Asian scenes. His style is so particular that I usually spot his photos on my Instagram feed before seeing the publisher. McCurry's superb composition technique is evident in each image - the outlines, the color choice, and the contrast. I have been enchanted by the sui generis continent since the first McCurry’s picture I saw: a fluctuant Kashmir market. The image showed many boats filled with pumpkins, cauliflowers and other vegetables I couldn't identify. Bearded men conducted the canoes and negotiated the products. I was surprised when I realized that there were people still trading like this. Steve showed me the power of the Indian monsoon, the colored Tibetan clothes, and the enigmatic Afghan children. I discovered through his work that our world is much more diverse than I believed to be. This finding awoke my desire to know other cultures and to travel the world.…

    In the novel Seeing the Divine Image in India, Diana Eck’s interpretation of Darśan and the spirituality of Hinduism are quite extensive. Hinduism is a religion of great depth with many layers of symbolism, which are not always apparent to those who are unfamiliar with the religion. Hinduism places a lot of emphasis on the connection between nature and our five senses. A main part of Hinduism’s religious rituals is seeing one of the deities known as Darśan. It is important to be seen by deity and to see them.…

    The Sikh temple also didn't disappoint. It was a very cool experience. When we walked in the building they had turbans over their head, and before we were aloud in the Gurudwara, place of worship, they made us cover are heads as well. When I walked I noticed streamers hanging from the ceiling and they had a very fancy clothe in the front of the alter along with their sacred book called the Guru Granth Sahib that is 1430 pages long. They let us try some of their different food and even sang a song from their hymn. Some interesting…

    Ever since 1839 photography has become an essential means of communication and expression. In its early years, photography 's unique powers of visual description have been used to record, report, and inform. As stated by Beaumont Newhall (1982: 7), photography "is at once a science and an art" and both aspects are inseparably associated throughout its astounding rise from a substitute for skill of hand to an independent art form. A central role of photography was and still is that it has documented and recorded people 's lives and the world in…
