Taken at Cave 17 of the Ajanta Caves in Maharashtra, India, this photograph shows a young girl sitting quietly at the cave’s stone gateway, absorbed in the glow of a mobile screen. The contrast between the ancient rock-cut monument, carved more than 1,500 years ago, and the modern device in her hands highlights the coexistence of past and present. The play of shadow and light deepens the sense of timelessness, suggesting how heritage spaces continue to hold meaning in contemporary life.
