There are lot of amusements in this metropolis but those are not for all. Life is not a bed of roses for the labours in our city. They are low paid groups and life is really a struggle for those.

Gangasagar pilgrimage and fair is the second largest congregation of mankind after the holy Kumbha fair. The picture was taken at a transit camp of the fair where all the pilgrims and sadhus make their temporary stay during the fair. I went there to take some photos but hadn’t found anything interesting. I was about to leave when I heard some chaos and saw a gathering of 20-30 people, and found this sadhu shouting at some of the pilgrims for not giving him enough alms. I prepared myself with the camera and was waiting for the right moment and within a few minutes, when he made that hand gesture, I quickly clicked the shutter and that made the shot.
