I am a full-time travel photographer and filmmaker from India. I split my time between Bangalore & Mumbai, but I call the world my home (and it's a beautiful one!).
Lockdown changed my life in ways I never anticipated and that convinced me to start Travel Vlogging and this channel is dedicated to just that.
One travel vlog every week (well, almost :))

Welcome to Turkistan, a city where ancient heritage and modern development blend seamlessly! In today's video we'll explore the cultural capital of Kazakhstan which has the tomb of the most revered religious and Sufi saint - Khoja Ahmed Yasawi!
00:00 Introduction
01:00 History of Islam in Central Asia
02:36 Welcome to Turkistan - the oldest city in Kazakhstan
04:18 The Story of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi
05:36 Timur the Great and history of the Tomb
06:28 Even Boat ride at Turkistan
06:58 The love-story of Kozy and Bayan
Turkistan is renowned for its historical landmarks, most notably the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This stunning 14th-century structure stands as a testament to the city's spiritual significance and architectural brilliance. As you wander through its intricate designs and towering domes, you'll step back in time to an era of rich cultural and religious history. This monument was built by Timur the Great but remained incomplete as he died in a battle while this was under construction.
The city is a vibrant cultural hub, where traditions are cherished and celebrated. Local bazaars burst with colorful textiles, intricate crafts, and aromatic spices, offering a sensory feast for visitors. Festivals and events throughout the year highlight the rich tapestry of Turkic culture, bringing together music, dance, and cuisine in joyous harmony.
For many, Turkistan is a destination for spiritual reflection and pilgrimage. The city is a focal point for Sufi Islam, attracting pilgrims from all over the world who come to pay their respects at the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi and seek inspiration from the city's profound spiritual legacy.
I travelled in Turkistan with the Kazakhstan Tourism Board, and below are the details of the travel agent through which our excursions were booked:

Mahalakshmi is one the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas, where Mata Sati's eyes had fallen. The present temple was built by the Chalukyas, with later additions by the Seunas & the Marathas. Did you know that the idol of MahaLakshmi is adorned with so many gemstones that it weighs more than 40kg!!! And that the idol had to be hid in a secluded place in order to preserve it from the wrath of the Mughals!!! Jai Maa MahaLakshmi 🔔🙏🏼🕉🚩
