The Ujjain river-front

Here is a man taking a systematic bath in the Shipra river and possibly washing his clothes.
The photograph of the kids playing in the temple came my way quite fortuitously at the ThriGanesh temple in Ujjain. The ambient light was quite beneficial in lighting up the cute faces of the kids and the general joy of living naturally experienced by the kids in their play.
In the middle of nowhere this old woman is seen squatting on the cobbled floor of the riverfront .I wanted to capture her picture from a close quarter but chose not do so preferring to put her picture in the perspective of the riverfront scene.But the poignancy of her outlined figure cannot be missed against the life-goes-on scene all around her.
A sadhu (holy man) is sitting in the shadow of a temple on the riverfront in Ujjain.Edit
The woman is here calling out to her companion from the arched entrance to the temple.She appears to be reaching out to ring the bell but is actually calling out to her companion to tell him she is there.An off-guard moment captured.
