every year
i shoot the journey
of lal bagh cha raja
from his pandal
to the sea
barefeet
in all humility
fasting
during
ramzan
a holy month
that coincides
with his feast
auspiciously
the hindus break
my fast at byculla
offering me fruits
bhajiyas some tea
being a hindu
being a muslim
a cosmic reality
documenting
the colorful soul
of humanity
mumbaikars
of amchi mumbai
shoulder to shoulder
vermilion sprinkled
he shaan konachi
lal bagh cha raja
its brand equity
hope and hindutva
a message of peace
on human souls
born free
