Moments Shoot Photo Trek 97 - Kothaligad Trek on 15 Jul 2017

Kothaligad   Peth, also known as ‘Kothaligad’, is situated in Shahapur Taluka, approximately 21Km North East of Karjat. This fort stands tall in the company of various other forts like Rajmachi, Dhak, Siddhagad and Bhimashankar, a witness to our illustrious history.   Kothaligad is more commonly known as the fort of Peth because the village of Peth is situated at its base. This fort though small in stature has a vast historical background. Mughal chronicles provide us a lot of information on this fort. This fort was more of a ‘defense station’ than a strong fort. Peth was mainly used for ammunition storage. Peth gained importance during Sambhaji’s era.   This photo walk is for whom? - Nature/Trek Lovers - Shutter Bugs (Photographers) - Children / School Children's - Families / Friends - In short Everyone !!!

Moments Shoot's Photo Walk 94 - Ganesh Idol Workshop on 05 Aug 2017

Chinchpokli & Parel Ganesh Idol Workshop The colorful Mumbai Ganesh idols, which are displayed all over the city during the annual Ganesh Chaturthi festival, are an awe-inspiring sight. It's natural to wonder about how they're made and the amount of work that's gone into creating them. If you're interested in finding out, it's possible to see the statues being crafted.  The skill is handed down from generation to generation, plus many migrants also come to Mumbai to help in the labor intensive process. It gets underway around three months before the festival takes place. The best time to see the action is in the few weeks leading up to the start of the festival, as this is when the finishing touches are put on the idols.   This photo walk is for whom? - Ganesh   Lovers - Shutter Bugs (Photographers) - Children / School Children's - Families / Friends  - In short Everyone !!!
