Then I saw these elephants blessing this child

During a visit to Tirupati with my family, I recalled seeing elephants serving the deity on TV and was eager to photograph them in person. With some luck, I managed to sneak in and found these majestic elephants patiently waiting for the pooja to conclude. They stood there gracefully, ready to escort the deity back, embodying both devotion and tranquility in that sacred moment.

While visiting Mumbai for an interview, I found some spare time and decided to explore Dharavi. This was my second visit to the city, and the contrast between Dharavi and South Mumbai was striking. As I wandered through the world's largest slum, I captured various moments, but this particular photo stood out to me. In it, I saw people full of joy, their smiles and laughter radiating as they giggled when I pointed my camera toward them. Despite their surroundings, their happiness was genuine and infectious.

During an early morning road trip from Hyderabad to Wayanad, I found myself in Mysore, hoping to visit the Mysore Palace. Although it was closed, the scene before me was captivating. The rising sun cast a golden glow on the palace archway, creating a mesmerizing atmosphere. I used the pathway's lines to guide the viewer's attention towards the arch, highlighting its grandeur in the warm morning light.
