Photographer’s Note
I shot it at SONEPUR fair,Bihar,INDIA.Sonpur internationally famous for the large fair held on the occasion of Kartik Purnima, So far as religious aspect of Sonepur Fair is concerned, special significance is owing to the temple of shree Hariharnath and the site of the battle of Gaj-Grah and rescue of the former by Hari During Kartik Purnima Ganga Snan or ceremonial bathing in the Ganga is held by Hindus to be unusually efficacious. On the day of full moon (Kartik Purnima) immense crowd assembles and take bath. The Mela commences on that day and lasts for more than a fortnight. The Shiva temple, Kali temple and other temples and historical religious monuments are situated here and social and economical activities are at the highest peak during the Mela period. People come here to pay their oblation to the lords .It is the largest fair of its kind in the world, for it is a fair specially for the trade of animals. Cattle, horses, camels and elephants can be seen in large numbers. It attracts a huge number of people, not only from all over Bihar, but also from other parts of India and foreign countries.
This round shape food is called "LITTY"..One of the favorite food in Bihar....

Hello Subir.
A very fine and simple presentation of a classical still life. It could easily be a painting. I like the way the subject emerges from a dark background, and the subued light which allows all the detail from the white Litty (are they pastries?) to show. Interesting note, too. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Subir,
The photographs the simple ones, made with the simplest objects or scenes of the daily life are often most beautiful: cheer.

elegance of the shot here is simplified to the best of its depictions...
the way you see at thinks is a real motivating factor for learners like us who never feels lonely for the want of a good guide-cum-teacher (as you are always there)...
