EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of contrast and chaos in the bustling shopping street of Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, in 1987. Amidst the crowded, teeming multitude of people, cows and their calves lie peacefully in the middle of the road, seemingly oblivious to the hot and bustling environment around them. A mother walks past with her children, her expression a mixture of resignation and determination, as her youngest looks back at the camera with a curious and innocent gaze. The scene is one of a busy shopping district, with traders and vendors selling their wares cheek by jowl, the air thick with the sounds of bargaining and the sights of colorful textiles, spices, and trinkets. The heat of the Indian sun beats down relentlessly on the crowded streets, yet the cows and their calves remain undisturbed, a reminder of the unique and intrinsic relationship between humans and animals in Indian culture. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, offers a glimpse into the past, a time when the streets of Old Delhi and Jaipur were teeming with life and activity, and the sights, sounds, and smells of the marketplace were a feast for the senses. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich and complex tapestry of Indian life, where the old and the new, the chaotic and the serene, coexist in a vibrant and colorful dance.
