Monks in Saffron Robes Walk Village Road at Dawn

by Tara Diaz

Pale morning light spills across a dusty village road near Ghaziabad, where a line of monks in saffron robes moves slowly. The dry season has stripped nearby neem trees of most leaves, leaving stark branches against a vast, cloudless sky. Each monk holds a dark, lacquered alms bowl at waist height, the smooth surfaces catching the soft, diffused glow of the overcast dawn. Dust settles on the cracked earth beneath their bare feet, while empty space on either side of the procession frames their movement. The saffron fabric contrasts sharply with the gray-brown ground and the pale blue of the sky. One monk's shadow stretches long and thin across the dirt path ahead.
