A total of 80 photographs were on display, depicting different ghats, kids, places and colours. "The photographs that I have clicked are all from my country. Each picture has a moment related to it and contains an emotion which I have tried to capture. Most of my shots are from the Kumbh and I have observed that people are very happy during the time of Kumbh," said Kumar.
