My visit to this natural wonder makes me want to share some thoughts about this beautiful water body. Pale pink and orange hues in the setting sun give it the most beautiful aura. It attracts not just hordes of people, but the skies over it flaunt an amazing variety of birds.
As the evening sun begins to set, dipping low over and yonder the hills, from the far horizons in the west one can see scores of green squawking parrots, flying in flocks overhead and crossing over to fly towards the eastern horizons, on their return journey to their nesting grounds from the feeding grounds.
As the sunlight begins to fade from somewhere near another water body of Udaipur, Lake Pichola, from a banyan tree in a park at the lake’s edge, come out the flying foxes (megabats), flapping their huge wings in the darkening sky. The flying foxes, more commonly known as fruit bats, come out to feed at dusk. Flying in the orange sky they look like phantoms, ready to swoop down on unsuspecting victims.
As i stood there under the evening sky, craning my neck upwards to see these marvelous creatures fly overhead, I could feel the freedom of these winged creatures.
The photographs were clicked by me just after the sunset on a cool rainy day.
