Caretaker catching a ray of light, Sahar Ki Masjid mosque, Champaner, Gujurat India

---

The Sahar Ki Masjid mosque is a blend of Hindu pillar and beam construction and Islamic column and arch construction. It is located in the Champaner-Pavagdh Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Gujurat State. I was taken with how the light streamed in between the pillars and lit the caretaker as he used a traditional straw broom to sweep the floor.
