Chai at theCrossing.

Manifesto / Description

A soul-stirring photograph capturing a misty morning at a railway station in Northern India. The composition is centered on a chai vendor pouring steaming hot tea from a kettle into a small glass, surrounded by a group of passengers wrapped in colorful woolen shawls. In the background, a blue and white passenger train is blurred in motion, its windows glowing faintly against the rising sun. The golden light of dawn filters through the steam rising from multiple kettles, creating a soft, ethereal atmosphere that celebrates the warmth and community found in everyday transit. This work masterfully captures the intersection of traditional daily rituals and modern movement.
