Hal Tyler > The Red Fort Of Agra

The Red Fort is a 15th century fort complex constructed by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in the walled city of Old Delhi (in present day Delhi, India). It served as the capital of the Mughals until 1857, when Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar was exiled by the British Indian government. The British used it as a military camp until India was made independent in 1947. It is now a popular tourist site, as well as a powerful symbol of India's sovereignty: the Prime Minister of India raises the flag of India on the rampants of the Lahori Gate of the fort complex every year on Independence Day. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007

Hal Tyler > The Lambanis (a.k.a. Lambadis, Romanis) are the nomadic tribes of India. They go from place to place in search of a livelihood. They have their own language, culture and a unique social structure. It is fairly well accepted that the Gypsies found today all over eastern Europe and the Balkans actually migrated from India centuries ago. The Lambanis mostly lead a poor, uneducated, and yet a very colorful life.

Hal Tyler > Dhobi Ghat – Mumbai – Open Air Laundry Ghat

This Dhobi Ghat of Mumbai is one of the only old laundry system of it's type in Mumbai, The name DHOBI (Refers to the person who is specialized in the laundry washing business) and GHAT (Is the name of the place where they wash the laundry) and so the name.

This place is special in the way the Dhobis wash the laundry, which is in the old style washing of hardly beating the clothes on Stone (Stone Wash Pens). They work collectively in groups with each washing the laundry of about one hundred customer's every day. The surprise to me was that with thousands of customer's laundry together, none are mixed or misplaced and exchanged with each other.

Once the laundry is washed, it is then followed by a special dry cleaning water process and then hung in open n air for drying. Then the clothes will be Ironed and delivered to respective customers homes.

Hal Tyler > Chinese Style Fishing Nets Pulled Up At Days End. This Group Of Nets Are Located At The Mouth Of Cochin Harbor.

During a late afternoon boat ride around the Cochin Bay Harbor we arrived just in time to see the Chinese Style Fishing Nets at Sunset.

The Fishing Nets are a fixed land installation for an unusual form of fishing – shore operated lifted nets. The system is sufficiently balanced so that the weight of a man walking along the main beam is sufficient to cause the net to descend into the sea. The net is left for a short time, possibly just a few minutes, before it is raised by pulling on ropes. The catch usually provides a modest number of fish which are made available, within minutes, to those passing by.
