The drive from Jagdalpur to Dantewada is truly very scenic...a canopy of trees, ....{that are decreasing gradually due to the road construction by the BRO}.

One gets to see glimpses of ancient tradition alive even today..alive, ironically in the totem poles made for the dear departed that are decorated colourfully, depicting elements of their daily life and nature.

A few old pillars have been protected by building shelters around them while others stand mute spectators to the development activities being carried out, that settles as dust on their magnificent figures.....

Change is inevitable.....but, should we let go of our past..?
