Description:

There is 4500 years old archaeological site ( Harappan era ) situated at Dholavira, Kutch, India. This area is very less populated & so that light pollution is very less also. I was spending time in this area for historical study in March 2024. Suddenly I found a beautiful natural rock curve structure in a dry canyon . As the season of milky way core had started, I planned for a milky way shoot. This natural rock formation has formed due to erosion of air and water through thousands of years. It looks like the long Nose of an ancient big bird / human. Core with Dark horse & Rho-Ophiuchi are clearly visible. There were some windmill lights which made some colourful conditions at the horizon. Catspaw Nebula, Lobster Nebula, Lagoon Nebula, Small Sagittarius star cloud are visible clearly
