Hypno-tradition.



This picture was clicked at Jain Temple, Amarkantak in my birth place Bilaspur. The last time I visited Bilaspur was 5 to 6 years ago. Like all the city, Bilaspur is also amongst the fast developing cities, my past memories with this city included that when I used to reach Bilaspur station, my mama (mom's brother, since I m quiet unknown about the words used in the family relationships so please try to understand) used to bring his bike to welcome us and we used to hire a Tonga (a bicycle cum rickshaw moved by a man) and there used to be so chilling climate that even sweaters would not be enough for their winters, tonga rided on the streets with small roads with a little source of light provided by the street lights. I remember stopping at a road side stall, selling Seekh Kababs ( my favourite), they used to be so tasty, like we can call that a staple food for the people over there. then we used to reach home, that days mama used to have an ice cream parlour, he used to hand over a ice cream to me and my sister before we slept. And many other memories are there.

Now, when I came to this place, the Jain Temple, its being under construction for last 5-6 years, and will be taking other couple of years to get completed. But this temple is a great piece of art, its the first time i saw a temple being constructed. The workmanship and the precise work of the labours there is too nice. As you can see it in the above picture, the work they did is too nice and done with love and perfection. This shows us how the madness and blind belief in god can bring you such a masterpiece in front of your eyes. Since many eras the tradition has played an important role in human life, but today we observe that this hypnotism towards our religion is bringing toll on us, political parties and different other factors use tradition as their strategies to come to power.
Tradition and religion are the most sensitive topic in the present era, thought this ear is termed as the most peaceful era but these two topics can spark a war in the whole world...

This picture, if looked gives a tunnel effect and this tends to show the hypnotism of the tradition.

Thank you.
