Apart from the common attributes that Ganesha is widely revered with -  the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and of intellect and wisdom - he is also identified with the primal sound of OM also spelled Aum , referring to the notion that he personifies the primal sound. He is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is primarily celebrated at home and in public by local community groups across Central, Western and southern states of India. The act of worshipping a clay idol and then bidding it good bye by immersing it in water is a very unique way of identifying with the cosmic cycle – of beginning and end and of new beginnings , of letting go and looking forward to the new. Every year I am drawn to this symbolic ending of a cycle, that deeply connects us to the Universal truths , leaving me in wonderment. In deeper truths there is always an intermingling of science and spirituality. And that’s how I feel about my art , my photography which draws me to such occasions reminding me of the truth. #ganeshachaturthi #godsofindia #beliefs #india #indianfestivals #photography #spiritualjourneys #cosmictruths #life #ganeshvisarjan #2019 #sudhirramchandranphotography #sudhirramchandran #lovephotography #streetphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/B26XtA9Fyrf/?igshid=1cyjh8iyzfhw9

THE MAASAI WOMAN- Emancipation through Education In the evening African light, the Maasai woman ensconced in her Serengeti habitat, is a true reflection of African beauty. The colorful red kangas (wraps) make these early Nile immigrants one of the most recognizable tribes in the sub-Saharan Africa. She wears a beaded head crown with filaments that crown her glowing face. A thousand-bead ornament delicately graces her long neck. Her ears could be covered with large metal or feathered earrings. Yet here she stands unaware of all of us gazing at her unspoiled beauty, the wife of a chief, the mother to his many children and increasingly battling cultural beliefs to enrol in schools and acquire a decent education to be of more value to her people. #masaai #africa #serengeti #serengetinationalpark #beauty #travelphotography #portraitphotography #editorial #photoart #lovephotography #sudhirramchandran https://www.instagram.com/p/B2RejAFF0g_/?igshid=1ty5przbubfxu

Andre Russell

The champ Andre Russell #cricket #advertisingphotography

As I took him through his paces in the studio, I realized that this was no ordinary guy. His movement as a bowler is amazingly fluid and even in a studio his smashes were fierce yet smooth. He is the ultimate athlete.

No wonder that by the time he was 5 years into international cricket, he was a two-time world champion in the shorter form of the game.

I decided on an ‘aggressive’ top-down…

LOOKING WITHOUT FROM WITHIN Exhausted after an emotional immersive experience photographing Michelangelo’s David in Florence, Italy, we collapsed at this quaint café – Café Ricasoli - along the same road Via Riacasoli. People, organic and in flow, glowed in the resplendent light forming my visual as I sought to capture a frozen, perfectly balanced scene. The low afternoon light cast long shadows and curved into the café, revealing enough details to create a multidimensional inside-outside view. It was a moment snapped in the blink of an eye that will forever stay with me.#photography #streetphotography #cafephotography #italy #florence #moments #memories #travelphotography #frozenmoments #art #sudhirramchandran #flaneur (at Caffè Ricasoli)

WHO IS THE REAL CHAMPION?

WHO IS THE REAL CHAMPION?

Letter that Chris Lynn, the explosive champion batsman of KKR, wrote to his Mother:

A TRIBUTE TO MY MUM, ON MOTHER’S DAY. Sunday 14th May 2017 Mum, I’m sorry I can’t spend mother’s day with you. I’m writing this from India, in the lead up to the IPL finals and I can honestly say I owe it all to you. There is no way I would have ever made it to this level in my sporting career if it wasn’t for…

ETERNAL EARTH -1   

         Children of the Nilgiris.

The next generation will almost certainly be the one to reap the full bounty of solar energy. The reserves are vast: the earth receives 6,700 times more energy from the sun than people consume!

In the Blue Mountains, India, school kids play oblivious of their grand surroundings of immense natural wealth!

THE GENTLEMAN WARRIOR

Robin Uthappa is to me the ultimate gladiator in the 2017 IPL. There have been some superlative performers at the 2017 IPL, but the one man who has wielded his blade successfully has been swashbuckling Robin Uthappa.

With 21 sixes as of last night and the highest number of 50s (5 so far), he is only surpassed by none other than David Warner. Uthappa has already made an icon of himself.

THE SPIRIT AND HEARTBEAT OF KKR

THE SPIRIT AND HEARTBEAT OF KKR

Steely eyes, quiet determination and outstanding leadership qualities has many experts lauding Gautam Gambhir as the best IPL captain at present. He leads by example and his stats as the leading runs scorer in the ongoing 2017 IPL speak for themselves.

He has led his team to 2 IPL victories so far, 2012 and 2014 and going by present performances, his team is optimistic of their chances this year…
