A stunning photo by T.S.Satyen of the Mathura widows.The women are destitute widows biding their time before death in Mathura ,the holy place of Krishna where a death is supposed to bring eternal salvation,freedom from re-birth.
There is no sadness in their eyes ,just a nonchalance , no loss of dignity,no photo-consciousness, no attempt to fit into photo-space. The starkness is aided by the dark background so beautifully used to define their figures in the foreground.
