The ghat is a spectacular site where hundreds of seagulls gather to feed at dawn. A breathtaking scene is created when the reflections of the birds on the still water are combined with the colours of the sunrise.

Despite the fact that a lot of people visit here, it has become a place for a bunch of photographers. In order to capture them uniquely, I chose to make them monochrome. To add a 3D view to the pictures, I made sure to compose in such a way to involve layers such as foreground, mid, and background. I visited the place on three consecutive mornings to capture the fog and sunrise.

On the first day, I was very excited and saw only a few birds, but I felt amazing at the first sight. I was blown away by the second day. The birds gathered around us, the sounds, the scenery, everything was incredible. This feeling is like opening up to another world, and you have to feel it firsthand. I tried to capture the surreal experience with my camera.

The third day was not so great as there were only a few birds. But, all in all, the experience felt like a lifetime.

Though it is a sacred body of water on the Indian subcontinent, the Yamuna River is also among the dirtiest rivers in the world. Although this refuge appears beautiful on the outside, beneath its surface lies an unfathomable amount of sewage.
