  • 14th September 2015, New Delhi. A guard/driver sleeps in front of dust-sheet covered cars in New Delhi, India on the 14th September 2015<br />
<br />
Sleeping in the outdoors is common in Asia due to a warmer climate and the fact that personal privacy for sleep is not so culturally ingrained as it is in the West. New Delhi (where most of these images were taken) is a harsh city both in climate and environment and for those working long hours, often in hard manual labour, sleep and rest is something fallen into when exhaustion overwhelms, no matter the place or circumstance. Then there are the homeless, in Delhi figures for them from Government and NGO sources vary wildly from 25,000 to more than 10 times that. Others public sleepers may simply be travellers having a siesta along the way.<br />

  • Near Pushkar, Rajasthan,  India, 07/11/2013.  Camel herder Bomram sits at a camp fire in the early morning in the desert near Pushkar, Rajasthan, India on the 7th November 2013<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 />

  • View of the central square at the Jama Masjid mosque in Old Delhi from ground level packed with worshippers, at morning prayers during Eid, 21st September 2009. Eid is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. <br />
<br />
The Masjid-i Jahan-Namaa (Persian: , the 'World-reflecting Mosque'), commonly known as the Jama Masjid of Delhi, is the principal mosque of Old Delhi in India. Commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, builder of the Taj Mahal, and completed in the year 1656 AD, it is one of the largest and best-known mosques in India. It lies at the origin of a very busy central street of Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk.<br />
The later name, Jaama Masjid, is a reference to the weekly Friday noon congregation prayers of Muslims, which are usually done at a mosque, the "congregational mosque" or "jaama masjid". The courtyard of the mosque can hold up to twenty-five thousand worshipers. The mosque also houses several relics in a closet in the north gate, including a copy of the Qur'an written on deer skin.<br />
<br />
The mosque was the result of the efforts of over 5,000 workers, over a period of six years. The cost incurred on the construction in those times was 10 lakh (1 million) Rupees. Shah Jahan built several important mosques in Delhi, Agra, Ajmer and Lahore. The Jama Masjid's floorplan is very similar to the Jama Masjid at Agra, but the Jama Masjid is the bigger and more imposing of the two. Its majesty is further enhanced because of the high ground that he selected for building this mosque. The architecture and design of the Badshahi Masjid of Lahore built by Shah Jahan's son Aurangzeb in 1673 is closely related to the Jama Masjid in Delhi.<br />

  • 15th May 2010, Ramkot: Nuns sstand for a portrait as they tend the gardens at the Druk Gawa Khilwa Buddhist Nunnery, Druk Amitabha Mountain, Ramkot, near Kathmandu, Nepal, 15th May 2010.<br />
<br />
The nunnery founder, his Holiness the present Gyalwang Drukpa instigated Shaolin Kung Fu training for his nuns in 2010 after a visit to Vietnam where he witnessed Vietnamese nuns practicing the martial art. He was told that it helped the Vietnamese nuns concentrate better and made them more self-reliant and recalling how some of his nuns at the Khilwa nunnery were fearful of travelling down from the mountain alone he decided to incorporate defensive Kung Fu training at his own nunnery. Only nuns under 25 are taught due to the physical challenges and there are currently 3 sessions a daystarting in the early morning. The Kung Fu training has energised the nuns and made them fitter, more self confident and alert.<br />

  • 13th August 2014, Yamuna River, New Delhi, India. An elephant handler yawns in the early morning as he guards an elephant near a bridge over the Yamuna River, New Delhi, India on the 13th August 2014<br />
<br />
Elephant handlers (Mahouts) eke out a living in makeshift camps on the banks of the Yamuna River in New Delhi. They survive on a small retainer paid by the elephant owners and by giving rides to passers by. The owners keep all the money from 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 />
