Morning Stillness
In the early morning along the Yamuna River in Delhi, two boatmen sit in their boats, waiting for passengers amidst a serene yet haunting atmosphere. The soft, golden sunlight pierces through the heavy fog that envelops the river, creating a dreamlike scene. On the banks, Chhath Puja rituals are being performed, but the thick mist obscures the activity, leaving only faint outlines. The tranquil river and the quiet patience of the boatmen embody a moment of calm during a day of bustling devotion.
