Devotion

This an image of A Poojari during the famous Ganga-aarti in Rishikesh

During the mesmerizing sunset in the ghats of Rishikesh, India, Poojaris perform the well-known Ganga-Aarti. It is a prayer to the holy river Ganga. I was fortunate to be allowed to click some photos right before them.

Generosity

An image of a roadside beggar who is feeding a dog

While exploring the bustling streets of Rishikesh, I noticed a beggar feeding his dog. This beggar was really unselfish because he fed his dog rather than himself. I have converted this image to a sepia black & white since there were a few other distractions in the frame.

Glistening glassware

Rows and rows of glassware arranged in a market in Mumbai

This is a regular scene from the busy market streets of Mumbai. A glassware vendor had arranged his goods in a neat manner. Since the sun was just about to set, I got this wonderful light.

A voyage

An image of a painting of a boy holding onto a bird with a white foreground

This is an image of graffiti in “The Beatles Ashram”, Rishikesh. This ashram in north India is known for its unique graffiti. When we were exploring the vast place, I spotted this really amazing part.

The way the boy is holding onto the bird is what makes this graffiti interesting. I tried many interesting angles with this painting, but I liked this one the best.

Peace

A long exposure image of a painting of a saint on the road with the trails of a few vehicles in the foreground

When we were exploring the crowded streets of Rishikesh, India, a painting of a saint caught my eye. I tried to take long-exposure images to show how bustling the streets were. I tried to keep me hands as steady as possible when taking this photo since I did not bring my tripod. The lighting conditions were pretty good, since the painting was done on the walls of a covered bridge.
