When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator. ~ Mahatma Gandhi

It’s been one month since I made the trip to Shantiniketan still the charm of that peaceful retreat is vivid in my mind. And when I thought about a beautiful sunset I have enjoyed in recent times I could remember this one at Srijani Shilpagram, Shantiniketan.

The sun slid behind the leafy branches of eucalyptus setting the sky on fire. I stood speechless for some time and then slowly walked towards the main gate of the ground where my family was waiting for me.

“There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.”

It was a summer evening. I went up the rooftop to bring the clothes I put to dry under the sun earlier that day. Luckily, I had my camera with me. It was almost dusk. The sky turned deep grey with the sun gleaming like an orange fireball. I zoomed in to capture it through the leaves of a palm tree swaying in the cool evening breeze. Hope you like it… 🙂

When before the beauty of a sunset or a mountain, you pause and exclaim ‘Ah’ you are participating in divinity. ~ Joseph Campbell

That was my ‘ah’ moment at the Holy Lake of Pushkar.

As the sun set over the horizon it painted the sky in golden and warm orange hues. The pigeons started flying back to their nests. Dusk fell over the lake quietly. I stood still on the stairs of the ghats for some time watching the sun god leaving us for the day and soaked up the peacefulness of the moment.
