Invitation to Tea — Pushkar

At Pushkar, a man in a blue shawl invited me to sit and have tea with him and his friend. I accepted.

The photographs follow the small encounter beside the lake: the man seated beside his tea vessels, tea being poured, and a pause together.

A view across the water closes the sequence in the place where we met.
