Home sweet home: people of Chhattisgarh (छत्तीसगढ़िया)

We meet amazing people in our life.  
Though strangers they are but bear character of profound depth and diversity.

Their story, quote, photograph,
makes it magical-reality
as if this being an incredible act of freezing a fleeting moment. 

Portrait of strangers, inhabitants of a state
vibrant monologue of human life,
to share herewith !! 




These two little kids are contributing their own labor and love 
for the new home to be built, 
by harnessing water 
from a hand pump, 
in their tiny pots !!

















Water and soil to be mixed up well 
for the mud wall to be raised for the new home.

A young boy seems enjoying with his father 
and watching him doing as well.

















Mixing hay with soil will add needed strength in soil 
to withstand in diverse climatic conditions.

Young souls helping old and being guided as well. 
Thus the traditional information moves forward 
from one generation to other.
Young boy Krishna age 5 helping his father Chhertoo Ram age 55, 
Saraitikra near Ambikapur



















And thus miracle occurs, 
when a home of dream starts taking real shape, 
where everyone in the family is owner and technical expert too !!
