Still Life, Loud Colors

This vibrant photograph captures the striking hues of powdered pigments vermilion red, bright yellow, and deep crimson neatly coned in metal trays at a local market stall in Orchha. Topped with plastic containers, the colors glow under a shaft of sunlight, standing out vividly against a shadowy green backdrop. The image celebrates the rich, tactile beauty of traditional Indian markets, where culture is expressed in every shade.
