Last Friday, early morning, we set for a one-day trip to learn the basics of photojournalism practically. Students along with the professors started from the hostel and after a long seven-hour drive by bus from Jammu; we reached our destination Sudh Mahadev, a 2800-year old temple.
Thereafter, we walked to a “paap nashini baoli”, a natural water spring wherein water flows throughout the year and a dip in the same has the power to destroy all our sins. Whether I was freed of my sins or not is yet to be found out, but, the chilling water definitely managed to make me rid of the drowsiness and fatigue of the travel.
After the refreshing water of the baoli, we started interacting with the locals. The picturesque beauty of the village was like a treat to the eyes. The melodious hum of chirping birds, soothing shade of the chinar tree and the serenity of the village gave us the complete idea as to why people prefer to live in villages today when cities provide all the luxuries of life.
Though we wanted to stay for long, but so as to reach timely we started back at 5 in the evening.
“Nature did never betray the heart that loved her”; the place undoubtedly left me mesmerized. So next time if you are travelling to Jammu, don’t limit your visit only to the world famous Vaishno Devi Shrine and try giving your eyes a delightful treat!
Here's a glimpse of what we explored through Avantika's lens ;)
