Street Photography in Puri, Odisha (previously Orissa)

Posting a series of pictures of Street Photography from Orissa, these are taken either by Muzayun or me. After quite sometime, the pictures are less about architecture of the place and more about the people on its streets. A bunch of us was there for a friend's wedding, but ended up being more of tourists than baraatis!

More than anything else, its the colors in the state which stand out. Especially when its monsoon time and the weather is heavily pregnant with possibility of rains, these colors are absolute mood up-lifters.

Hopefully there would be time later on to write more about my experiences...

A quick lunch at Mumbai's famous Britannia before we took the train to Puri, the fish was the toast of the afternoon apart from some rather funny conversations with the owner

With Nandita (as usual all my pictures are almost always taken by Muz) outside Britannia

Finally in Puri, on the way to the temple...

Bright colors were all around on the cloudy morning. The sarees looked beautiful!

Muz was extremely keen on clicking all the beggars...Snehal walking away from one.

Our roadside vendor with some bright colors, everyone was pleased to be clicked :) I was tempted to take a beedi drag, but managed to refrain :)

Another beggar clicked by Muz...

Snehal and me eventually bugged him with our attempted 'candid' photography!

Another beautiful woman in a saree...

I simply adored the small temple on the wall, no great pictures as it was an extremely busy junction...
