KHADAON or PADUKA
Paduka is a terminology used in the Indian religious tradition of Hinduism that denotes a foot wear made out of wood. It also refers to the footprints of deities and saints that are venerated.
Paduka as footwear is generally worn by mendicants and saints of Hindu and Jain religions. Its significance in Hindu mythology is linked to the epic Ramayana.
Paduka also means foot prints of Hindu gods such as Vishnu, Shiva and other religious icons that are worshipped in this symbolic form in houses and also in temples built for this purpose. One such temple is the Gaya temple dedicated to Vishnupada or Vishnu's feet. Similarly, Buddha's foot prints are worshipped under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya.
It is also the royal symbol (not as a foot wear but as a headgear) in Malaysia termed as ‘Seri Paduka’ denoting "His Majesty", which is a title bestowed as an honour of recognition to the dignitaries of Malaysian court for their outstanding contribution to the betterment of their State.

HIS mind, of man a secret makes
Canon Powershot S3IS
Badrinath Temple
HIS mind, of man a secret makes,
I meet him with a start,
He carries a circumference
In which I have no part,
Or even if I deem I do
He otherwise may know.
Impregnable to inquest,
However neighborly.
E.D.

Gods Of Gutters
Canon Powershot S3IS
Chandni Chawk, Old Delhi
This is a typical street corner at Chandni Chawk. There were many such tiles of Hindu gods and goddesses there lined right above the open naalas and ditches. A place where people pee and spit.
Time and again you hear these religious people making such hue and cry over a remix of some Hindu Bhajan or a title like Avatar used in some Hollywood movie....
And here we are. Gods in charge of ditches and sewers.
lolz.....Its a twisted world innit?
