Description
I am both happy and sad at the same time, and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.This was captured in the spur of the moment, I saw something, and the next second it was gone. I was entering the main gate of this temple amidst all the chaos as thousands were hustling to get in and beat the heat. I was trying to save my gear but also well aware of what was going around, and I couldn’t help but notice this small kid on her mother’s lap peeking at the people who were going berserk fending off others. This was clicked somewhere in Rajasthan, India.

Unfortunately, it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.
Scenes like this are becoming more and more common in this supposedly "more tolerant" world.
This is a great capture. Thank you for sharing it.
