Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Things Made From Wood

This is my second entry for Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge. This week’s theme is things made from wood. Here’s a link to Cee’s blog https://ceenphotography.com/2019/08/22/cees-black-white-photo-challenge-things-made-from-wood-2/

 

 

The first three pictures are of black and white pictures that I took of some of the wooden furniture I have in my bedroom. The fourth picture is a black and white picture I took when I visited Jekyll Island with my friends. The last six pictures are black and white pictures that I took of various wooden statues of Hindu gods and goddesses. As you can see that four of them are pictures of Lord Krishna well tomorrow happens to be Krishna Janmasthami.  Krishna Ashtami happens to be the day in the Dwapara Yuga that Lord Krishna was born in the Mathura prison to his parents Devaki and Vasudeva. And to those that don’t believe that Lord Krishna was real well I’m glad to tell you that there has been proof found that Lord Krishna’s city of Dwarka really existed and it was found in 2001. Marine archaeology has proved that the existence of the city of Dwarka and its submergence in the Second millennium B.C referred to in the Mahabharat, Harivamsa, Matsya and Vayu Purans (Sanskrit texts) is a fact and not fiction. The second to last picture is a wooden statue of Lord Ganesha. The last picture is a wooden statue of the Ram Parivar of Lord Rama, Sita Mata, Lakshman, and Lord Hanuman. The sources for the information about Dwarka are from the two websites http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/1768109.stm and https://www.gounesco.com/where-mythology-meets-reality-sunken-city-of-dwarka/
