Rishikesh is a street photographer’s paradise: fleeting moments, candid expressions and stories that we often miss in a hurry are easy to find at this beautiful city. These are some of the many stories that I came across on my trip.

1.  Start your day by visiting the Ghat as they offer a panoramic view of the various early morning activities - from ablution to workout - of a multitude of people, for whom the river is the be all and end all of life.
