BUSY
This is a man who is weaving a traditional silk saree in Varanasi. I wanted a creative shot, so I captured it with a long exposure.

Devotion
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.

Tranquil
Doesn’t this image have a very distinct peaceful feel? I really like the stance of the boy.
On a misty morning on the banks of the Sharavati backwaters, we set out to explore this remote hanging bridge. I feel like the monochrome adds a lot to the melancholy vibe of the image.

Generosity
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.

The Golden river
This is an image of a tourist boat during the golden minutes of sunset in Varanasi. My family and I were on another boat, which was opposite to the infamous ghats.

Glistening glassware
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
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
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.

Scoop
This image was taken just opposite the Puri Jagganath temple. Ghugni is the dish that he is selling.
