Midnight Raksha Bandhan Thread Tying in Bhopal Temple

Neon signs cast a cool, electric glow across the wet stone courtyard of a temple near Bhopal, reflecting off the slick ground under a heavy overcast sky. Two figures stand close together, their faces illuminated by the artificial light. One hand holds a small, colorful thread while the other extends a wrist, the skin glistening with rain. The fabric of their clothing appears heavy and dark against the bright, shifting hues of the neon reflection. Water droplets rest on the rough texture of the temple pillars in the background. at the edge is the precise knot forming on the skin, stark against the wet, glowing pavement.
