Description'It was late evening the city lights were coming on and as the cityscape was turning dark, I decided to finish shooting from Saeed Bhai's rooftop. As I was stepping down through the open staircase, I looked across towards the Jama Masjid, the dark clouds hanging over it and right underneath in a room was this lady at her evening prayer. The whole space got engulfed in a spiritual experience.'
