Diana Australis' photos with the keyword: Madhya Pradesh

An older photo from rural central India, just before an election with political slogans and symbols painted on it. A common occurrence in rural villages. Have a mighty midweek!

At the post office in the rural town of Orchha in Madhya Pradesh in India. Here the roof, electricity pole and air conditioning unit in the window are all in a perilous state of leaning over. The cow was looking embarrassed and the man was telling it off. It was 47C What had it done? Wishing you a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend. Love from Diana xxx

Orchha. Madhya Pradesh. India. It's a political advertisement...the flower being the symbol of the party for illiterate people to identify.

Political slogans on walls

Jain faith diverged from Buddhism around 2000 years ago. Jains eat no living thing; the do not even eat root vegetables, as insects may be harmed when harvesting them. They wear masks so as not to kill insects, and brush the ground in front of them with a broom to avoid walking on them. These very old temples are untouristed, neglected and very beautiful. Their god statues are usually naked.
