At the Thiksey Monastery in Ladakh, a young monk peeks through a wooden frame, as if posing for an unplanned portrait. The bold red beams of the window frame his innocent smile, creating a picture within a picture

Captured in the peaceful town of Tabo, Spiti, this image shows a monk walking through the rain-soaked streets, embodying calm amidst the daily hustle. His vibrant red robes and mirrored sunglasses create a striking contrast, blending traditional monastic life with a touch of modernity.
