People - VARANASI, INDIA

This photograph captures a moment of everyday life on the streets of Varanasi, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. A man pedals a cycle rickshaw through the busy urban flow, surrounded by motorbikes, pedestrians, and small shops that line the road.

Cycle rickshaws remain an essential means of transport in many cities of India, especially in historic areas where narrow streets and constant movement shape daily routines. The image reflects the rhythm, resilience, and human scale of Varanasi’s streets, where tradition and modern life coexist in constant motion.
