Professional photography is a passion that you have to have an eye for. An eye for that special moment, an eye for the aesthetic, an eye for nature's beauty, an eye for a unique atmosphere– and the necessary technique. If you have your camera with you at the right moment and press the shutter button you can capture magical spectacles of nature and document them for ever. Photography, and especially professional photography, banishes your memories to paper in a special way. They are always to hand and evoke exactly the feelings in you that you felt at the precise moment of taking the photo. Professional photography is simply magic!

Bhopal is mainly famous for two things. Lake sight-seeing & Mosques. The city Bhopal was named
after the great ruler of Madhya Pradesh, Raja Bhoj. The reason why Bhopal is referred as the City
of Lakes is because the city is full of lakes. There are more than 15 lakes in Bhopal, including all
the big and small lakes.
Bhopal is a city in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It's one of
India’s greenest cities. There are two main lakes, the Upper Lake and the Lower Lake. On the banks
of the Upper Lake is Van Vihar National Park, home to tigers, lions and leopards. The State Museum
has fossils, paintings and rare Jain sculptures. Taj-ul-Masjid is one of Asia’s largest mosques,
with white domes, minarets and a huge courtyard.
Despite popular belief, the largest mosque in India is not the Jama Masjid of Delhi. It is, in fact,
the Taj-ul-Masjid, in the central India town of Bhopal, which is the capital of the state of Madhya Pradesh.
With an interior area of about 430,000 square feet, the mosque has a capacity of 175,000 people.
The meaning of Taj-ul-Masjid translates to ‘The Crown of Mosques,’ and the magnificent architecture
reflects just that. Not only is the mosque the largest in the country, but it also happens to be the second largest
mosque in Asia. Made of red stone, the mosque is situated by the lake referred to as the Motia Talab.
