India never ceases to amaze you especially if you are on a road trip. There are surprises in almost every curve of the road. During my recent trip to Kerala, I was prepared for churches, mosques, temples, synagogues ..but this completely took me by surprise.
A Laughing Buddha was standing tall on the highway, in the middle of nowhere with a beautiful garden surrounding the statue. When we slowed down a bit, I found a board that announced that this was a nursery and a fengshui consultancy rolled into one. Now this is something that probably happens only in India
To see more dramatic skies , do log on to Skywatch
And it also makes for a pretty picture!
Fantastic! And what a terrific capture! Fun one for the day, Lakshmi! Just the smile I needed this morning! Hope you have a lovely weekend!

I so love those kinds of things. Some make sense, others absolutely not.
Canada is king in creating huge roadside attractions that try to catch the traveller’s attention. If they have nothing else to show for, they sure find a way to grab your attention and if only long enough for a coffee stop or to sell some kind of things one absolutely doesn’t need 🙂
Here are two examples: Star Trek Memorabilia in Vulcan (Alberta) – yes you heard right – and the Worlds largest Dinosaur in Drumheller.
I am very glad you stopped to take a photo. It is amazing the wonderful things you can find just driving down the road. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, It happens only in India 🙂
After statues of Gods and apsaras and billboards of politicians, why not the laughing Buddha?? At least he’s cute :)))
ur so right laxmi..i have been road trippin for major part of the year and have come across so many different sights & sounds…which i think can be seen only in india
Yes I too have seen this but do not remember at what place. May be in between Ernakulam and Thrissur.
It definitely happens only in india!!! great pic, though!
India is full of surprises by all means. It’s such an amazing country full of monuments and diverse people. I much like this region. Kerala
That’s great. Good photo.
Lakshmi,
India never ceases to amaze me either.
I invite you to visit my post on Vidhana Soudha to confirm these words.;)
