Shadows of Time
Captured at Cave 17 of Ajanta, this photograph contrasts the ancient and the modern in a single frame. A young girl, absorbed in the glow of a mobile screen, sits at the threshold of a centuries-old stone gateway. The play of light and shadow emphasizes the tension between past and present—where timeless heritage coexists with fleeting technology. The stillness of the cave stone and the quiet concentration of the child remind us that history is not distant; it continues to hold space for contemporary life in unexpected ways.
