Travel
through time with www.kamat.com
Take
a walk through history with kamat.com and see India in all its splendour,
past and present, through the photographic lens of another Indian.
Kamat.com
is a family-owned and designed Web site, which takes the visitor
on a tour through India of the past and present. The site consists
largely of photographs taken by the head member of this family,
Krishanand Kamat, during his travels through India. The site includes
information on Indian history and mythology and even the freedom
struggle, highlighting some of the major events in our history.
Aside from this, it is the photographs that have been posted here
that set this Web site apart. The photographs capture the very essence
of India, its culture and tradition. These include photographs of
sculptures from various Indian temples and shots depicting some
of India's many festivals. Some pictures include interesting artistic
depictions of Indian mythology. The site, however, isn't very systematically
arranged. You will find scores of links in almost every page, each
taking you to a different or related topic and, hence, you could
find yourself sidetracked from your original search. At times you
find more visual and pictorially dense information than textual
information. All the same though, kamat.com is a good enough site
for some insight into Indian history and also a glimpse at Indian
culture and everyday life..
