Caring For The Ghats
The ghats (steps that lead to the Ganges River) in Varanasi are bustling places full of drying laundry, holy cows, beggars, feral dogs, boys flying kites, sahdus (holy men) and – everywhere you look – vibrant colors contrasting the grey stone of the steps themselves.
I was struck by how often I encountered this scene or similar – someone quietly caring for a narrow stretch of steps, looking strikingly beautiful as she did so.

Cool photo! The colors especially are what drew us in. Congrats, you've been resteemed by our page!
Super nice!!! I love how colorful India is.
Great shot! We didn't make it to Varanasi the last time we were in India. I'd like to one day.
Good photo, I am a photographer, it passes for my blog and sees my content, I hope that it should be of your taste :D greetings
Thank you! I sincerely appreciate it! ⭐️
It is bright and unusual photo!
Thank you! There'll be a lot more India and Nepal in the coming weeks/months. ;)
Thank you! Likewise – I had a hard time coming home....
You must go! It's incredibly intense, but well worth the trip.
seen this from @photofeed, lovely shoot
Varanasi is such an incredible city, so photogenic
And vibrant. With all kinds of intense and contrastif emotions... Definitely one of my favourite places to visit in India! 🙏🏽
Fantastic prospective and colors.
Beautiful photograph! I love your work and your eye for the unguarded moments!
This is such a stunning shot. I love it. Definitely following you, hoping to see more of your work.
Thanks @gabyoraa! This is actually my first (now unused) account. I've relocated to @zipporah. Please do follow me there! ;)
Thank you! Please follow my new account @zipporah for more like this! :)
So, so true! I've often referred to it as the city of Shadows & Kites...such contrasting truths existing simultaneuously. please follow @zipporah (I've relocated) for more photos like this!
Nice, followed you there.
