Rajasthan Series : Melody of life

Melody of Rajasthan

Watercolor on paper

Size : 15 x 22 inches

I took this photo during my visit to Puskar (Rajasthan).While waiting for my cab I saw this man standing with ravanhatta instrument. When I was taking out my camera and thinking of taking his photo he came to know that I want to take his photo. Then he came near to me and posed nicely.

It was mid day and very sunny day. What I likes about this the strong shadow in his face. I am really happy with how it turned out.
