Bicycle Bike Farewell Goodbye Houseboat Jammu Kashmir Kashmiri Parting Vale Deodar
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Kashmiri father bids farewell to his young daughter as he lifts his bicycle off his houseboat on Dal Lake in the picturesque Vale of Kashmir. The serene waters of Dal Lake reflect the towering peaks of the Deodar forests that surround the region, creating a breathtaking backdrop to this poignant moment. The father's expression is one of sadness and longing as he looks back at his child, while she gazes at him with a mixture of curiosity and concern. The bicycle, a common mode of transportation in the hilly terrain of Kashmir, is a symbol of the father's daily struggle to provide for his family. As he pushes off from the boat, the father leaves behind the familiar comforts of his home on the lake and embarks on another journey into the rugged landscape of the valley. The image captures the essence of the Kashmiri people and their resilience in the face of the challenges that come with living in this beautiful but remote and often unforgiving region. This photograph, taken in 1986, is a poignant reminder of the simple joys and hardships of everyday life in Kashmir.
