I used to get a lot of help from 'Wikipedia' for my assignments and was amazed at the vast content of the site. Soon got to know that even I can contribute to the site, So here I am. Hope will get to know a lot along the way.Anwaraj (talk) 16:44, 5 May 2013 (UTC) αηωαɤαĵ

I am user:Anwaraj. I am from a place beyond the beautiful vale of Kashmir. It's Kargil I'm talking of Kargil,Ladakh. You may have got an idea of the place from the war, The 1999 Kargil War. Browsing random websites, cycling, politics and reading interests me. As for music, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is the name I would always like to plug in and listen to. I do fiddle with a camera whenever i get a chance. This one was taken last year when we went picnic to the Suru Valley.

My interest in history led me to the National Museum, New Delhiand soon would be guiding people through the Museum as a volunteer guide. I was lucky enough to spot an advertisement in the newspaper that was about giving regular citizens a chance to be regular guides!

The War brought about a sea of change to the place where I belong to. I must admit that the war had a silver lining in that it brought the place closer to the rest of the country and people started to send their children out to, firstly, places like Srinagar and Dehradoon that shared similar climatic conditions and later to other places like Jammu, Delhi etc. that had a hotter and more humid climate.

I was off to Aligarh, a place famed for the Aligarh Muslim University and Sir Syed Ahmed Khan. After that it was Jammu, M.A.M College, Jammu and presently I am pursuing my Masters degree from the University of Delhi

Today's featured picture The Kefermarkt altarpiece is a richly decorated wooden altarpiece in the Late Gothic style in the parish church of Kefermarkt in Upper Austria. Commissioned by the knight Christoph von Zelking, it was completed around 1497. Saints Peter, Wolfgang and Christopher are depicted in the central section. The wing panels depict scenes from the life of Mary, and the altarpiece also has an intricate superstructure and two side figures of Saints George and Florian. The identity of its maker, known by the notname Master of the Kefermarkt Altarpiece, is unknown, but at least two skilled sculptors appear to have created the main statuary. Throughout the centuries, it has been altered and lost its original paint and gilding; a major restoration was undertaken in the 19th century under the direction of Adalbert Stifter. The altarpiece has been described as "one of the greatest achievements in late-medieval sculpture in the German-speaking area". This image shows the upper-left wing panel of the Kefermarkt altarpiece, depicting the birth of Christ. Mary is portrayed kneeling in devotion in front of the infant Christ, who is placed before her on a fold of her dress. On the other side, Joseph is also kneeling in front of the child. Above Mary, on the roof of the building behind them, are two angels playing a mandolin and a lute. The annunciation to the shepherds can be seen in the background.
