Incredible India

My perception to India is totally changed as soon as I have arrived to the country. I have realised that on a different point of view, India owns lots of very special characteristics and keeps its traditional on it used to be.

During my elementary and secondary school years, I was told that the country is very dirty, and its people can be assumed as hungers for money. Therefore, the word "India" will never be coming up to my top dreamed destination.

To be fair, if one just ignores those bad points of the behaviour of people, the taste and quality of food and drinks, as well as the dirty road, he/she will definitely the hidden beauty of India.

India owns a very long history of civilisations, starting from the Indus Valley Civilisation, 9,000 years back into the past. Also, the country is famous to Buddhist as it is being place of lord Buddha's attainment of Enlightenment.

During my visit to India's country side of Gaya, I was wondering if all the environment back into the period of lord Buddha (or about 2,590 years ago) to be exactly the same as what I have seen???

+Hard of cows are walking on the streets.
+Homes are made of soil.

Herd of cows on the streets!

Bycicle taxi, 10Rupee per head to the market centre.

A home-economy based, Indian people can own a business with these stuff.

Similar to Thailand's country side.

Here are some additional point-of-view taken through my lence.......I know that pictures can tell.

A place so called Nalanta used to be the biggest Buddish University. Now a popular tourist destination for Indian people.

A small hut-based, in which is believed as a home of lord Buddha.
Lots of Buddhist (around the world) climed up to the top of this hill to pay their respects and think of lord Buddha.

Bodhgaya from the other side of Niranjana river (aka Falgu River).
+The river itself has no water, the only thing I can see was sand dunes.
+Local people uses this place as their public restrooms.

A contingent of beggers!
