Feeding Migratory Seagulls | Good Karma

Text taken from the Guardian and photograph by Saurabh Narang. 

Every year between October and March, thousands of seagulls migrate from Siberia to Delhi. Locals come to feed them, believing it is good karma. This image shows one of them, Mr Ramnath, rowing across the river Yamuna near the Red Fort at sunset. It was taken by Saurabh Narang, who lives nearby and says this has become one of his favourite places to visit in his home town. “After years of travelling to distant places, this was my first visit to Yamuna Ghat. It left me wonderstruck.” Another man feeds the migratory birds in Yamuna Ghat in Delhi. He believes in good karma and feels his duty to feed these birds. According to him, these birds wait for someone like him to come every day with food. They also recognize Mr. Ramnath (boatman) as he is a familiar face for them now.
