  • A woman prays quietly as Hindu's celebrate Holi in the Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan, in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, India ,1st March 2010. <br />
<br />
Holi, also called the Festival of Colours, is a spring festival celebrated by Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and others. It is primarily observed in India, Nepal, Srilanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and countries with a large Indian diaspora populations, such as Suriname, Guyana, South Africa, Trinidad, UK, USA, Mauritius, and Fiji. In West Bengal of India and Bangladesh it is known as Dolyatra (Doul Jatra) or Basanta-Utsav ("spring festival"). The most celebrated Holi is that of the Braj region, in locations connected to the god Krishna: Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandagaon, and Barsana. These places have become tourist destinations during the festive season of Holi, which lasts here to up to sixteen days.<br />
The main day, Holi, also known as Dhulheti, Dhulandi or Dhulendi, is celebrated by people throwing coloored powder and colored water at each other. Bonfires are lit the day before, also known as Holika Dahan (burning of Holika) or Chhoti Holi (little Holi). The bonfires are lit in memory of the miraculous escape that young Prahlad accomplished when Demoness Holika, sister of Hiranyakashipu, carried him into the fire. Holika was burnt but Prahlad, a staunch devotee of god Vishnu, escaped without any injuries due to his unshakable devotion. Holika Dahan is referred to as Kama Dahanam in Andhra Pradesh.<br />

An elephant loaded with fodder and a handler crosses a busy road as a cyclist clasps his hand to his chest in homage, New Delhi, India on the 4th September 2014. Elephants are revered in India due to their enshrinement in many and various religious traditions and beliefs. <br />
<br />
Elephant owners (Mahouts) eke out a living in makeshift camps on the banks of the Yamuna River in New Delhi. They survive by giving rides to passers by and hiring the animals out for religious festivals, events and weddings, they also are involved in the illegal trade of captive elephants. The living conditions and treatment of elephants kept in cities in North India is extremely harsh, the handlers use the banned 'ankush' or bullhook to control the animals through daily beatings, the animals have no proper shelters are forced to walk on burning hot tarmac and stand for hours with their feet chained together. <br />

  • A chunk of ship lies on the strand at shipbreaking yard, Chittagong, Bangladesh, December 2006.<br />
<br />
Chittagong’s shipbreaking yards in Bangladesh are the second largest shipbreaking operation in the world after India. At high tide vessels are driven at full speed up onto one of the world's longest and now most polluted beaches. Here, half of the world's supertankers are hacked and torn apart by an army of workers using blowtorches, sledgehammers and plain brute force. The number of accidents and casualties at the yard is believed to be the highest in the region. Workers cut steel plates continuously without eye protection. Many don't wear uniforms, protective gloves or boots. However, Bangladesh is dependent on shipbreaking for its domestic steel requirements and the industry employs, directly or indirectly, an estimated 100,000 Bangladeshis.<br />
<br />
In recent years shipbreaking has become an issue of major environmental concern. <br />
Shipbreaking yards in developing nations like Bangladesh have lax or no environmental controls, enabling large quantities of highly toxic materials to escape into the environment causing serious health problems among shipbreakers and the local population. Environmental campaign groups such as Greenpeace have made the issue a high priority for their campaigns. <br />

<br />
Pushkar Mela , one of Asia's (if not the world’s) largest camel fairs occurs annually during the Hindu month of Kartik (October-November) in the small desert town of Pushkar in Rajasthan, India. Semi-nomadic tribal people with hordes of cattle, camels and horses materialise out of the desert and descend upon the town setting up a vast camp on the outskirts. It runs concurrently with the festival of Kartik Poornima which honours the God Brahma. Its celebrated with particular fervor in Pushkar because it hosts one of the very few Brahma temples in India and culminates with thousands of devout Hindus taking a ritual bath in the sacred Pushkar Lake. Its this melange of pilgrims, musicians, magicians, acrobats, folk dancers, traders, comedians, ‘sadhus’ and tribals that creates a uniquely colourful spectacle transforming the usually sleepy town into an astonishing cultural phenomenon. <br />

<br />
When Jhunjhunu district began to fall behind in its 2011 sterilisation target of 21,000 per year Senior Medical Officer for Jhunjhunu district Dr Sanataram Sharma, borrowing an idea from the district collector, introduced an incentive scheme to encourage sterilisation uptake. The scheme offers the opportunity for participants (overwhelmingly female) to be entered into a raffle to win a flat screen TV or a motorcycle or a Tata Nano car. With India's burgeoning population aggressive family planning initiatives are being promoted but human rights and other NGO's say the approaches are coercive and target the poor and disadvantaged. It also harks back to Sanjay Ghandi's infamous enforced sterilisation policy enacted during India's state of emergency between 1975 and 1977.<br />

<br />
Chittagong’s ship-breaking yards in Bangladesh are the second largest shipbreaking operation in the world after India. At high tide vessels are driven at full speed up onto one of the world's longest and now most polluted beaches. Here, half of the world's supertankers are hacked and torn apart by an army of workers using blowtorches, sledgehammers and plain brute force. The number of accidents and casualties at the yard is believed to be the highest in the region. Workers cut steel plates continuously without eye protection. Many don't wear uniforms, protective gloves or boots. However, Bangladesh is dependent on shipbreaking for its domestic steel requirements and the industry employs, directly or indirectly, an estimated 100,000 Bangladeshis.<br />

In recent years shipbreaking has become an issue of major environmental concern. <br />
