This picture was taken in the heart of Varanasi city. Varanasi is the one of the holiest places in India. With the presence of river Ganges - it is India's most oldest living cultural habitation. An around the year pilgrim and tourist destination - Varanasi is always brimming with people. Although India is making story about change and economic growth, this city still has the resonance of the past and India's on going success story still needs to touch this part of the land. I think this picture describes this juxtaposed story that Varanasi gives us. On one hand the city is so crowded and full of tourists - but it also houses yesteryear transport system as the cycle-rickshaw and awaits the growth that it desperately needs.
