Faces of India – 259 Student from Gurukul

He is a student at the Gurukul in the Ashram of Shri Ravishankar in Kanakpura Bangalore.

The Veda Agama Samskrutha Maha Patashala, the Heritage school is a dedicated school in Vedic and Agamic studies. The institute offers both Vedic shastra (knowledge) and Agama shastra (pooja rites).

The age group for the Veda school is 11-14 years. There is no particular criterion for selection of students. Children from any caste can join the course.

They sit on floor to study and each student has a table kind of furniture which doubles up as storage place for books.

I saw several students engaged in different activities there. I found their uniform interesting. One of the students agreed to pose for my faces of India series. It is difficult to imagine city kids donning something like this!

Faces of India,

a series through which I intend to portray the various characters of my country whom I met during my travels. I bring back souvenirs, frozen moments from my travels, why not some memories of people I have met and interacted during the travels. Faces of India is a weekly series in my blog since MARCH 2011.
