In this Photo Studio, photographer Ashish Mehta of ‘Meet Me at Khadia’, who has been running a time-honoured photo-walk in the walled city of Ahmedabad captures the authentic flavour of Amdavad’s kite festival known as Uttarayan.
Also known as Makar Sankranti in various traditions, Uttarayan festival, is dedicated to the Sun God and marks end of the 6 month period that began with June Solstice. Makar Sankranti, the Indian equivalent of Winter solstice marks the beginning of 6 month long ‘Uttarayan’ period, in which the northern hemisphere of the planet is tilted towards the Sun. Considered an auspicious time for new beginnings, particularly in agrarian societies, this day is marked with lot of festivity. The festivity is passionately celebrated all across India, but in the city of Ahmedabad, it is specially rejoiced by flying vivid kites using a sharp abrasive string called Manja.
The Heritage city of Ahmedabad is famous for its Uttarayan revelry as people and families gather on the Pol terraces to fly kites with utmost enthusiasm. The festivity is marked with authentic Gujarati dishes including the quintessential dish full of winter vegetables called Undhiyu. This album is a compilation of Mehta’s four years of Uttarayan photography, which was mostly conducted during the evening times of the festival in the Khadia Pol. The senior lensman is using Canon 1100D to capture the saffron hues of the Amdavadi Uttarayan skies.
To be a part of this celebration, you can contact Ashish Mehta as this year he has organised a ‘Uttarayan in Pol‘ event within the walled city of Ahmedabad. Since the happening is meant to be a traditional affair, participants will be given colourful kites, environment friendly manja, lip-smacking indigenous delicacies and of course an original Amdavadi Uttarayan experience curated by Mehta himself.
The captions of the photographs are the different names of Uttarayan/Makar Sankranti in various regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.

We are a group of artists, who through this music video, are attempting to be a catalyst to spread the dream of a ‘World Without Rape’
Kadach/Shayad is a poetic expression, which depicts the despair of love-filled WOMEN towards insensitive men. The soliloquy acts as the cry of a victimized woman, a woman for whom it is becoming impossible to be angry. Hopelessness and pain fill her now.
In summary, the poem serves as a description of various relations that every man has with women. The victim reminds the perpetrator of the various relationships between him and the women in his life: his mother, sister, friend, lover and daughter. In sheer helplessness the woman says, "I must have been in your heart today (while brutalizing me), maybe!"
The project is an attempt to combine sound, visuals and words, to create a compelling and creative music video. The project aims to sensitize men and society about this shame.
We believe that the first step to become sensitive is to have the ability to empathize with others pain. This music video is an attempt to make the viewer come face-to-face with the pain of a victimized woman.
It is a humble attempt to do our bit, to be a catalyst for change.

Ganesha Chaturthi is 10 day festivity starting from the 4th day of the Hindu Calendar month of Bhadrapada (falls around August-September) to celebrate the generosity of Lord Ganesha. The festival starts on the birthday of Lord Ganesha, whereby devotees install temporary idols of Lord in their homes. The idols are worshipped for 10 days and on the last day, the devotees immerse the idols in the river or ocean.
Ganesha is known for his wisdom and there are many legends associated with his wit. He is popularly known as Ganpati or Vinayaka and is regarded 'God of new Beginnings'. In Hindu tradition, a new task or a new event of life begins with invocation of Lord Ganesha.
Over the last century, the festival has achieved greater significance and is celebrated as a mass community event across the country. Popularised by India Freedom Fighter Lok Manya Tilak the Ganesha Celebration gradually transformed into a mass community rally. It is Indian state of Maharashtra that the festival is celebrated with greatest fervour. Thousands of Pandals (temporary constructs) are created across the city of Mumbai and the state and people get together for the 10 day festivity.
Lakhs of devotees install the Ganesha Idol in their homes. The idols available are mostly made from Plaster of Paris, which when immersed pose grave danger to marine life and leads to toxicity of rivers. People have gradually understood this and have started shifting to clay idols.
In this video we show you How to make Eco Friendly Ganesha Idol at Home. All you need is Red Clay, follow the steps show in the video and you can have your own Ganesha Idol.
