A typical house in Sanasar, Kashmir, India
We were in a bus from Patnitop to Sanasar. Sanasar is a village set on a mountain side, a hill station on the Jammu side of Jammu and Kashmir. All along our bus ride, we saw these mud coloured, box shaped houses.
Seeing these unique structures, our curiosity was piqued. We were eager to peek into these houses and the lives of the families which made these home.

Back to PHOTO GALLERIESLove hate relationship between siblings, Uttarakhand, India
Siblings share a unique relationship! These are sisters Ashwini and Sarita. Their parents ran a dhaba (food shack) in Naukuchiatal which is a small lake town in the state of Uttarakhand in India. We had dinner at their dhaba the previous night. That night they were very shy. They didn’t at all look at the camera. The next morning we went there again for breakfast. This time they had warmed up to us. They even played with us while we ate. And then gave us some fun filled shots.
