MORNING ROOFTOPS
Day begins in Varanasi, the holiest city in India for Hindus. Located on the banks of the holy river Ganges, millions of pilgrims visit each year to bathe in the sacred waters. "Being the oldest continuously inhabited city in India, Varanasi is chaotic and colorful, intense and frenetic," says Your Shot photographer Yan Li. "Although it is the holiest place for Hindus, the daily life of locals has no difference compared to ours."
“What really attracted me to this image, besides the interesting perspective was all the stories happening within this photo. There are several subjects going about their day or taking a nap in this image and I was just fascinated by everything happening in this frame.”
