Hello everyone!
Wandering in the streets of Dehradun, India I wondered who is a true wanderer?I guess, someone who is open to ideas and experiences along with exploring new places.
Just like me they also have curious spirit and always open to learning and discovering the world and embracing uncertainty.If you believe you are a true wonderer then join me in this journey of exploring the streets of Dehradun.
I reached here by taking auto as it was cheap and provides you a better view. Busy streets, people moving here and there, collecting goods, laughing and enjoying street food. I thought that's all but the more I explored the the more I found these street talking back to me.
It's not the street, it's the people making it special
Look at them, the market stall owners were convincing people to buy stuff from them. The innocence as well as hardwork of these childrens were totally boosting the sales here.
This lovely lady was ahead of me covered in beautiful sare, she collect some vegetables from green grocers and all alone she carried the bags just like a strong independent women.
There were numerous green grocers selling fresh vegetables and fruits by making different noices and to my surprise, it worked, people were getting attracted. I found these hardworking people very humble and loving.
The streets were brightly illuminated with Diwali just around the corner. Diwali is a festival of lights with lots of cultural and religious significance. Diwali celebrates the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. During Diwali there was huge sale going on almost everything, therefore you can all these huge clothing shopes all around.
For Hindus, diwali commemorate lord Rama's return to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana. That's why its celebrated with flowers, love and lights.
Theses flowers in the picture are Marigolds, they are specially used during Diwali as they symbolizes prosperity and happiness.
These circular ornaments are worn on wrist called bangles and they often symbolizes the marital status, for instance, in Indian culture marriage womens wear red bangles as a sign of their union.
They are not just accessories but carry deep cultural meaning and emotions
This old building suddenly caught my attention, look at the architecture, isn't it lovely and unique?
Well, these streets of Dehradun tell more stories then people can tell about them and if you are a true wanderer you will definitely hear them all, loud and clear.
