While at the resort in India, we went for dinner at a farm close by. It was a multipurpose farm with not only a place growing fresh vegetables and flowers and serving delicious dinner, but also a photo location for professional wedding and ad shots.
Our resort in Anand, Gujarat, India had beautiful pathways through the gardens, places to relax, and artistry on the walls.
The grounds of our resort in Gujarat, India had an ample collection of artistic Buddhas
Spotted a red-wattled lapwing at our resort in Gujarat, India. The red-wattled lapwing is an Asian lapwing or large plover, a wader in the family Charadriidae. Like other lapwings they are ground birds that are incapable of perching.

Various stone sculptures of Ganesha were decorated daily at our resort in Gujarat, India,
Ganesha, a much-beloved and worshiped deity, is the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati. He is also known as the God of wisdom, prosperity, and auspiciousness. A Ganesha statue can be hand-carved in many postures and forms, typically with four or eight arms, holding various symbolic objects.
An interesting sculpture of Ganesha with Kali on the back at our resort in Gujarat, India.
Ganesha, also spelled Ganesh, also called Ganapati, elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, who is traditionally worshipped before any major enterprise. Lord Ganesha clears the obstacles and paves the way for us to move forward in life.
On the back side of Ganesha is the depiction of Kali. Alongside being the Goddess of darkness, destruction, and death, Kali is also a symbol of Mother Nature because she is believed to be timeless and formless, representing the creation of life and the universe as well.
After visiting Tadoba National Park, we went to a resort in Anand, Gujarat, India for an extended family reunion and relaxation. The upscale resort provided ample opportunities for photographic images that we will be posting this week.
Here is a collage of images from the resort pool …..
