Inside the majestic walls of Mehrangarh Fort, I found a moment frozen in time. A fort staff member, dressed in traditional Rajasthani attire, sat by a window, the soft natural light illuminating half of his face, creating a striking contrast between light and shadow.
The play of light felt symbolic—just like the fort itself, standing between the past and present, between legend and reality. His calm yet powerful gaze carried the essence of Rajput heritage, a silent storyteller of Jodhpur’s rich history.
