Field Photos
This page will contain photos, along with brief descriptions from three different experiences I participated in while in India.
Naturopathy Centre
Naturopathy is a form of alternative medicine based on a belief in vitalism, which points that a special energy called vitale energy guides bodily processes such as metabolism, reproduction, growth, and adaptation. According to Dr. Sandeep, vital energy can be manipulated and can be corrected if treated accordingly. The human body is made up of 24 principles, 5 of which are primary and necessary to take care of. One can treat these areas by engaging in hydrotherapy, proper diets, chromotherapy, acupuncture, manipulative therapy, etc. Naturally, our body heals itself, we just have to let it. At this centre, one can receive services for free, paid by the government.

The Red Fort
The Red Fort was built by the Mughal dynasty, an islamic family. Every Mughal king contributed a bit towards the fort and one even dedicated parts of it to his Hindu wife, which is why the architecture is Indo-Islamic inspired. The fort is more than 2k acres and the land is controlled by the government. Certain parts of the fort is open to the public while others are closed and are being occupied by Indian armies. The fort was originally built for the dynasty to simply live in, despite its lavishness. The fort was so lavish that elephants would be used to open the gates.

The Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal was built by one of the Mughal kings in honor of his wife that died. When she was dying, he promised her he would build her the gates of heaven and never remarry. 7 days after her death, he remarried her sister. Although the Taj Mahal does not contain the most romantic love story, the architecture itself is magnificent. The art was highly influenced by Persian art. The Taj Mahal is completely in white to replicate heaven. The entire area is symmetrical.
