Numbers

1
Here is the number one, that also double as the letter I. This structure was found on one side of the Taj,there is also an identical one on the opposite side to further exaggerate the extreme symmetry of the Taj Mahal. The building of the structure was so meticulous and calculated that it is literally perfect!

I found this number 2 at the Gandhi Ashram. It was part of a sign that was written in Gujrati, but I felt that it also made a great 2, or even a capital cursive Q.


3
I have seen the Om symbol all throughout our journey in India, but not until yesterday did I realize that the first letter resembles a number 3! I took this photo in the Whistling Woods film school, which is why the image seems more hip and cool placed between headphones. Unlike most of the, Om symbols which are presented in a more traditional way.


4
This 4, like many other numbers and letter I have found, is part of painted Hindi text on a sign. I found it as we were driving through the streets of Mumbai and could not let the 4, which was the hardest number for me to find, pass me by on he bus ride!


5
The number 5 was another tough number to find naturally occurring. I was making peace with the fact that I probably would not find one, and would have to use a more S shape instead. However, in Mumbai I came across this sign in Hindi that resembles a 5 almost perfectly.


6
At the Jain temple we visited in South Mumbai there were beautiful iron (or some kind of metal) gates that stood in the entry way where I found this number. They were beautifully decorated with religious and Indian symbols, such as the Elephant, Bull, and swastika. Surrounding these emblems was a mesmerizing design, where I found the number.


7
In the waiting lobby at the Reliance Media Works I found this number 7 as the legs to a coffee table. The studio was very nice and equipped with small living room like seating areas that played sitcoms! Which made waiting very enjoyable.


8
This 8 was also part of the painted sign I found the number 5 in. It was convient finding multiple numbers in one space, because it seemed that numbers were harder to find naturally than letters.


9
The outside appearance of the Mudra Ad Agency in Mumbai looked like daycare centers that I've seen at home. The wall was a dirty colored white with colorful paintings on it. I was relieved seeing that the inside was much more professional.

This zero was found at the Observatory in Jaipur. I do not recall exactly the purpose of this particular instrument, but if I were to guess I would say it was a sun dial used to tell time of day or week. Seeing those instruments blows my mind! I don't understand how they could ever calculate time so precisely in that time period!
