I am honored to give my dear friend of many years Aishvarya Das credit for the wonderful photo on the blog homepage. I have many paper photos of Sri Vraj I would like to scan. This is a very fine photo, that perfectly captures the late rainy season of Vraj. The heady smell of overripe Kadamba flowers, the moist Earth, perfumed smoke from fires. The soul is on fire. The onset of Autumn. I will never escape now.
