We ignore our everyday surroundings not realizing how amazing they are. Be it the women, men, land or animals, food, culture and lots more. Watch this photo story and the video to  fall in love with the regular everyday life of India – as seen through a foreigner’s lens. A Brazilian duo came to India and captured the everyday life in the most amazing way ever.

Lara Jacoski and Patrick Belem, a Brazilian duo passionate about Indian culture, travelled around 20 cities in India and documented what they saw. From the inhabitants to the regular places, from the various religious practices to food and culture, they have captured the essence of the country in such a simple yet such an amazing way that we are once again reminded of how beautiful it really is! Here’s what they saw:

The LAND

The versatile land which hosts an abundance of biodiversity and scenery. We have often heard of the great Himalayas and their beauty, but here is the raw beauty of regular cities, towns and villages where we spend our entire life but still hardly notice.

The WOMEN

From colourful sarees to their shy smiles and cheerful giggle, wrinkles that express the hardships to the eyes that show ever lasting love for dear ones, there is something charming about women and everything they do!

The MEN

The ANIMALS

The FOOD

The TALENT

The WORK

The SACRED
