The Technicolor Demons at Titarpur, Delhi for Dusshera by Anoop Negi

The demons of our souls Stand lonely and forlorn Wondering where they ought to be? Fearsome creatures of the night. Trapped in the perdition that is Delhi They huddle on the kerbside and wait In the dark of its loathesome nights. Their grimacing mouths seeking release. Someone surely will buy these Make mighty tall Ravanas and more Give them what they need - their absolution - Purgatory Before they light the final fires. Notes on Photography - These are demon heads meant for consecration at Dasshera time in and around Delhi. This is hand held and shot at 2500 ISO with fortuitous lighting provided by the sole human being passing by on his scooter.
