Scenes From the Betwa River in Orchha

One of the popular tourist activities is to catch sunset along the Betwa River in Orchha. It was probably one of my favorite places to photograph. Of course you get the requisite postcard shot at sunset with the chhatris reflecting off the water in the background...





But to me, the far more interesting shots were to be had by turning around and photographing people going back and forth across the bridge.

There were a number of Sadhus also enjoying the sunset. Some were in deep philosophical conversations...

Others followed tourists around waiting for their photo to be taken (for a small fee naturally).


I figured I'd oblige...


Out of all my photos in Orchha, I think I like these ones the best. Not really too sure why, but the soft glow at sunset and more importantly the warmth and friendliness of the people, give them a nice feel.
