Maybe the happiness is out there...Like déjà vu. In another time, where all consciousness feel, that the beauty still exists. Where the people have forgotten the pain in the past and death.Where the demons are dead. Where everything is clear.

Sambhar

It is a place where skylines stretch immensely, a place where the water and sky merge and glisten azure.

Sambhar is situated in the Indian state of Rajasthan, around 80 kms from south west of Jaipur . It is the largest inland saline lake of India. Sambhar means salt and different groups of the neighbourhood been producing tonnes of salt every year since centuries .There are around 38 bunch of towns surrounding the lake.

Sambhar lake is quite a view at night . It transcends into serenity as the night approaches. The stars shimmer spectacularly at night and and if you are lucky enough ,you can experience the sight of magical Milky Way.

he world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs more of is people to appreciate and enjoy it.

Traditional Preceding

According to the tradition, the Sambhar lake was a gift of Shakambri Devi ,the tutelary(patron) of the Chowhan Rajputs,who about 551 A.D in return of milk supplied by one of their cows to a religious ascetic, converted a forest into a vast plain of precious metals. The inhabitants of Sirthula, a village situated a few kms from Sambhar, looked upon it as a curse rather a blessing as it would be sure to lead to endless fends requested the goddess to retract her gift . But the goddess being too forgiving to retract her favor converted the lake from silver to salt.

Accommodation and Food

If you are travelling , I’d suggest you to take all your camping equipments and experience the sun rising from the horizon while sipping the warm coffee from your tent. The salt lake is very vast . It is an isolated land, therefore there are not a lot of options for the accommodation there.

Carry water bottles and food with you as there are no restaurants in Shakambhari, Sambhar.

Essentials for Photographers

If you are a photography enthusiast don’t forget to carry a tripod and spotlights for various long exposure shots. You can also light paint as the darkness and stillness of the place provides a perfect canvas for the same. For a better understanding of the stars and constellations,you can download various applications such as Sky map by Google.

I believe I have shared all the information you will need to plan this trip and now I will let my pictures do the talking.

What I am really saying is that you don't need to do anything, because if you see yourself in the correct way, you are all as much extraordinary phenomenon of nature as trees, clouds, the patterns in running water, the flickering of fire, the arrangement of the stars, and the form of a galaxy.

All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don't let anybody crush your dream.

We all walk in a land of dreams. For what are we but atoms and hope, a handful of stardust and sinew? We are weary travelers trying to find our way home on a road that never ends.

Humans like stories. Humans need stories. Stories are good. Stories work. Story clarifies and captures the essence of the human spirit. And story, you mark my words, will be with the last human to draw breath.
