Civic Plaza Candles Jodhpur City Hall Steps

Golden hour light washes the sandstone steps of Jodhpur City Hall in warm amber tones. A sturdy metal trash barrel sits centered, overflowing with the wax remnants of spent vigil candles in red, yellow, and white. Broadcast cables and paper notices frame the foreground, creating a textured barrier of urban communication. The wax drips have hardened into jagged, translucent shapes along the barrel's rim. Shadows lengthen across the stone, showing the rough texture of the steps against the smooth, cooled wax. A crumpled notice pinned to the barrel edge catches the fading sun.
