Historical Places in India
Sundar Palaniappan is an aspiring photographer who loves to visit temples and other historical places in India. Since web, is the universal media to which people around the globe either visit to gather knowledge or to keep in touch with their close friends and relatives, I would like to avail the power of web, by putting the photos of temples and other historical places of India.
Since web allows people to publish ideas and other useful information, I decided to flaunt my ability of photography by displaying photos of temples and other historical places of India. Since, a large population of Indian origin lives outside India, who may love to visit India but because of the unavailability of the resources (especially time) not able to visit the temples and other places of interest in India.
I hope that Sundar Palaniappan’s pages could serve as an alternative to quench the thirst (or form a base) of visiting these temples and other historical places of India. I basically visit these temples and historically important places on tight budget but spend lot of time there. Being a guy from a busy town of Chennai, Tamilnadu, India, these occasional tours, bring blissfulness to the mind and the soul.

Trekking adventure
Apart from being an aspiring photographer, Sundar Palaniappan loves to do trekking in the Himalayan Ranges and other mind-boggling treks in Garhwal and Kumaon regions of Uttarakhand, HimachalPradesh, Sikkim and Nepal.
Some of the photo galleries of India
Sundar Palaniappan’s interest in the art of photography took him to Hampi ( VijayaNagar ) , Badami, Aihole ( first capital of early Chalukyas ), Pattadakal, Madurai, Kancheepuram, Darasuram, Mahabalipuram and other historical places in India.
Apart from improving these images of Temples and other historically important places of India, Sundar Palaniappan is planning to host pictures of other places of India by visiting them. You could find the complete list of galleries in the archives link.

    In the novel Seeing the Divine Image in India, Diana Eck’s interpretation of Darśan and the spirituality of Hinduism are quite extensive. Hinduism is a religion of great depth with many layers of symbolism, which are not always apparent to those who are unfamiliar with the religion. Hinduism places a lot of emphasis on the connection between nature and our five senses. A main part of Hinduism’s religious rituals is seeing one of the deities known as Darśan. It is important to be seen by deity and to see them.…

    To initiate this essay it makes sense to begin with the inventor of the Photography craft. Nicephore Niepce who was a French scientist and inventor created the earliest surviving photograph in 1826 using a technique he developed called heliography. This legendary photo is titled “The View from the Window at Le Gras”. Featuring buildings and the landscape as seen from a window of his estate.…

    The search for visual truth is a continuing quest. A pondering of ontology pushes our efforts and abilities as a homogenous culture to question and challenge identity within the visual boundaries of technology and time. Building upon the visual codes and methods of the past, the relatively young medium of photography conveys the surrounding subjects in true aesthetic representation. We surround ourselves with images of the past wistfully longing for what some consider a better, more civilized time. Photographs-- especially those of people, of distant landscapes and faraway cities, of the disintegrating past-- are inspirations to reverie. The sense of the unattainable that can be evoked by a photograph feeds directly into the erotic feelings of those for whom desirability is enhanced by distance or a longing to reactivate a past moment, feeling or experience. The lover’s photograph hidden in a married man’s wallet, the poster photograph of a pop star pinned up over an teenager’s bed, the coin in your pocket with the imprint of Lincoln’s face, the snapshots of a hairdresser’s child taped to their beauty mirror- all such talismanic uses of photographs express a feeling both sentimental and implicitly magical: they are attempts to contact, transcend or lay claim to another reality. Portrait photography adheres to long existing functions, however new and instantaneous the medium may be. In order to understand photography, more specifically- portraiture, we must deconstruct the meaning and approach within the modern context. Just as any Fine Art, photography lives an intellectual and visual existence-…

    Steve McCurry is a master of photography. He usually retracts Asian scenes. His style is so particular that I usually spot his photos on my Instagram feed before seeing the publisher. McCurry's superb composition technique is evident in each image - the outlines, the color choice, and the contrast. I have been enchanted by the sui generis continent since the first McCurry’s picture I saw: a fluctuant Kashmir market. The image showed many boats filled with pumpkins, cauliflowers and other vegetables I couldn't identify. Bearded men conducted the canoes and negotiated the products. I was surprised when I realized that there were people still trading like this. Steve showed me the power of the Indian monsoon, the colored Tibetan clothes, and the enigmatic Afghan children. I discovered through his work that our world is much more diverse than I believed to be. This finding awoke my desire to know other cultures and to travel the world.…

    Their traditions and cultural values are few of the most important aspects of their understanding, because it is what shaped them, and similarly, this shaped the visual appearance of the actual geographical landscape also. Big significance, also has a gender of the audience, as women used photography to expose and enhance their identity. Photography for women was a large scale connection with the audience and it was one of the most efficient ways to express themselves back in the days when women had to fight for their rights. Similarly, people used photography as a medium to attract interest to the political facts going on at the times, for example the inequality of races and classes, back in the days. Nowadays, public uses photography as a medium that strongly grabs attention and it has a strong potential of providing the world with much more information and strength, than an actual article. The potential in photography can also be compared to our human nature. Photographs are evidence that our nature seeks to inform ourselves of the facts and ignore the myths. Photographs believe to be always unquestionable and true, due to the fact it is being used worldwide as documentary proof of economical and political…

    In 2017, we are constantly consumed by photography, we sometimes forget the power a photograph can have. A photograph can represent or misrepresent, someone or something - an object, a person, an event. A photograph is based on the perceptive of the photographer. A photograph is the visual representation of a moment in time. Photography is about memories and history. History in a textbook is not necessarily the only truth. Personal histories are the truth, but universal history comes from different perceptive and we can not necessarily say one history is the only truth.…

    As seen in paintings of battle scenes and portraits of wealthy Renaissance aristocracy, people have always strived to preserve and document their existence. The creation of photography was merely the logical continuum of human nature's innate desire to preserve the past, as well as a necessary reaction to a world in a stage of dramatic and irreversible change. It is not a coincidence that photography arose in major industrial cities towards the end of the nineteenth century.…

    The Sikh temple also didn't disappoint. It was a very cool experience. When we walked in the building they had turbans over their head, and before we were aloud in the Gurudwara, place of worship, they made us cover are heads as well. When I walked I noticed streamers hanging from the ceiling and they had a very fancy clothe in the front of the alter along with their sacred book called the Guru Granth Sahib that is 1430 pages long. They let us try some of their different food and even sang a song from their hymn. Some interesting…
