As someone who was born and raised in West Bengal, I have a deep attachment to its unique way of life, its people, and the serene and tranquil environment it offers. Here, I have tried to show the calm and peaceful narrow lanes of West Bengal’s small old village, where women can be seen going out to collect dry wood from the forest to use as fuel for their earthen kitchen stoves. The hens following the women serve as shepherds, a simple yet beautiful aspect of rural life that is often lost in modern cities.
