Co-existence


Morning scene outside a temple in Orchha, India.

The music from the indigenous instrument the sadhus were playing was melodiously drifting across the space- along with the sounds of prayer and the pleas of women begging for alms, the 'restaurant' owner's calls to tempt the devotees into buying the tasty treats on offer, the chatter of the children, and the bells and mantras being chanted inside the temple.

The flowers add colour and beauty.

The dog dozing in the middle of it all adds calmness to the chaos.


I liked being there in that moment.
