Top-Down

Indifest is one of my images that I shot back in 2011 during ShriKrishna Janmashtami Festival, which is also known as 'Dahi Handi'. This Image won me Sony World photography Awards in 2012 for Arts and Culture Category
It's a joyful celebration of Lord Krishna's effort of stealing butter from 'Matka' that is suspended in the air. 'Govindas' which is a group of enthusiastic men or men who form
a human pyramid in an attempt to reach the break the pot. While I went to this location in Dadar, Mumbai, I saw that there were more photographers than there were govindas!
Every photographer's picture is going to look the same at the end. Thinking about doing something different, I saw a spot high up where the ropes of the pot were tied, and reached there
to achieve this different vantage point of the event.
