amazing man nice find sstumbled
Should have invented a pump
I’m guessing people do not shower much….
Its beautiful but what a stupid construct! A pail and a bucket on a pulley would have been so much better!!!
Stupid? At least you can see the shit in the water you’re taking?
I’ve been to India way back in 1990, this monument looks like another brilliant Indian make work project. You see oddities like this in India you would never see anywhere else. Something about how they see the world, and its beauty, its complexities need to be expressed. Great shots. Check out “Khajuraho”, the kama sutra carved in a stone, a massive sprawling temple complex, hundreds of miles away from anything, in the middle of nowhere…
India does have a lot of great places to visit! To make the best out of your tour, I would say research and write them down so you’ll know what to hit when you go
You know what’s cool? They filmed “The Fall” here. An amazing film, but what’s cooler is you can see where the algae in the pool is disturbed from where the actor fell in!
Would never go to India, they discriminate against homosexuals.
This looks shopped.
Great pics! I had no idea these existed.
Very very very cool. Some stunning pics. Keep up the good posts
ya , its great, but dont u all think that they should have utilized the money and the strength in a different better way???
