Solitary Light
Bathed in soft morning light, a lone tree stands amidst the mist-draped hills of Munnar, Kerala. Sunbeams pierce through the haze, tracing the contours of tea gardens and forests below. In this quiet moment, the landscape breathes with serenity—a reminder of nature’s resilience and the enduring grace of solitude within India’s Western Ghats.
