Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Jose,

Are you a pro?

Wow! Great photos. We should all wear saris! I love the colors and fabrics - so bright, so feminine.

Beautifull !! Brings great memories of Karnataka. Were some of those at Belur or Halebid? What about the lady sweeping--where? If you can add some captions, it'd would be even better.
the facial porraits are wonderful.Thank you for this gallery.

Jose, what a great eye you have. Very special photographs. You capture the essence of people and places rather than "take a picture", which is a unique talent.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful moments.

Oh, I just noticed you are a professional photographer. I have spent the last hours going through all your photos. Exquisite! Stunning! Some of the best I have ever seen.

Thanks you all for the compliments!

On the questions:

a) are you a pro?
Photography is a serious hobby and a passion for me. It's not my profession.

b) the lady sweeping: it was taken in the Leela Palace hotel in Bangalore (or Bengaluru as per the locals).

Cheers,
