Prateek Dubey: Mirror
This picture was taken at Haridwar, a holy town for the Hindus, 220 km north of Delhi. River Ganges flows through the city. The place where people take a bath in the river ( to rid of their sins and otherwise) is called a 'ghat'. Water at this ghat is controlled, so at the time this picture was taken, the ghat was being cleaned and there was just this puddle of water. The brightly colored background is a reflection of temples. This woman is looking for coins thrown by devotees. I thought this picture is a 'reflection' ( pun intended) of the relationship of commerce, religion and needs of the poor which shows in this puddle...
