Nagpur: Eons has passed and all that remains now is the echo of our past.
Moving across our land, we find pieces of architecture with innumerable stories, people, and culture.
They left us wondering about the civilization removed by time.
Whispers haunted us, footprints asked us, forcing us to stop and reflect on our situation and travel into the future.
There are photos here also capture the essence of magical that bind our history, heritage, and the omnipresene nature is so strong with mankind.
Look through camera lenses, we can catch nature, architecture, and people who are busy in dialogue.
Heritage associations have formed between people, structures and the natural environment, ultimately becoming inseparable.
These rooms are involved and miraculously transport us into one time frame and a large space where, even if I live in the 21st century, I am surrounded by stories and experiences that are revealed for centuries.
What caught my attention was a strong natural presence.
Especially in untouched rooms, where time has the freedom to obscure natural and man-made elements.
History and Heritage highlighted interdependence of nature, humans and architecture.
Each photo tells us a unique experience that I share with the presence of peaceful water, reflection of stoik-built forms, wild growth of trees and gardens, all skies that cover and large descendants of civilization that answer my thoughts and ask more questions.
Finally, architectural creations, unfortunately abandoned, captured my attention by planning and sensitive response to context.
The indigenous ingredients used, old yard age plans to control natural ventilation and regulate micro climate, fantastic engineering for water supply and waste water channels, use of openings to let natural light and point of view to observe the environment, a perfect blend of interactive space in and Outside, attention to structural details is possible for buildings to survive centuries.
The scale and proportion of all elements, functional planning of the building, are happy to hold these moments and freeze them in photos.
The intelligence of the structure must be protected, just as we care for our people.
Inheritance, inheritance, their peculiarities told us what to pass on to the next generation.
We can only make humble efforts to offer testimony to historical spatial gems and architecture.
In contrast to the moments of time and frozen architecture, the world today – rushes towards the goal and ambition that is not visible, the increasing use of technology, unconsciously makes us away from the simplicity and mercy of life.
The art of appreciating simple things, tranquility before nature and only aware of the beauty of life rather disappeared.
The photos told us to stop, look back, remain silent and breathe in the room and time together, and admire and appreciate the coexistence of nature, architecture and mankind.
Lenses in the past, eyes in the future
