Mahashivaratri Sunset

13th Feb 2018

In North India, looks like the celebration is on tomorrow. Here in Bangalore it is today. Considering the proximity, I would go for 13th Feb :-). Nevertheless, festivals are to rejoice with family, savor delicious dishes and internalize the morals of almighty. I don't mind the differences in celebration dates. They are hardly a day or two difference.

I eschew the normal path for my return journey nowadays primarily due to the breathtaking sunset at the Rachenahalli lake. Among all the lakes nearby my location, this lake triumphs. The Amruthalli lake lacks decent landscape. The authorities have not constructed esplanade throughout the periphery of lake in  Hebbal and Lumbini Gardens. Hebbal lake hosts beautiful landscape but lacks decent maintenance. The Rachenahalli lake on the other hand, hosts magnificent views of both sunrise and sunset all through the season. The renovated esplanade makes it even more comfortable for photographers and walkers. Even though sunrise and sunset spots are not the same, both the landmarks have beautiful landscape as backdrop. Despite the blemishes of cityscapes, this lake is my favorite spot for photo-shoot proximity to my area. Jakkur lake is another option but yet to explore it more.


The Shivaratri generally marks the outset of Spring season by carrying strong winds of change across the region. Hope you enjoy the pictures captured during the Shivaratri day on my way home. Let the god of simplicity, destroyer of evil, and energy bless us with peaceful, and colorful glowing life as Sun :-).

Here is a picture of Lord Shiva shot long time ago in Murudeshwara.
