Photographer’s Note
Shot it at Sonepur,Bihar,India.
Asia's largest animal fair takes place in Sonepur, in the northern Indian state of Bihar. A visual extravaganza awaits all at Sonepur Fair, where multitudes congregate on Kartik Purnima to offer obeisance to Harihar Nath and participate in the biggest cattle fair of Asia. The fair continues till fifteen days. More than 400,000 people visit every year to this fair. Sonepur situated on the confluence of the holy rivers Ganga and Gandak, has the reverence of a blessed ground and lasts for a fortnight. In ancient times the Royal Rajahs and Nawabs used to camp here. The Sonepur Fair has unique and historical importance.
The opening of the fair coincides with the Hindu religious festival of Kartik Purnima, which occurs in October or November. Devotees bathe the point where two holy rivers, the Ganges and the Gandak meet.

Hi Subir,
That is great! so well timed. Love the balance of the shot with the huge structures of the bridge on either side. The man definitely gives a very good idea of scale in this shot.
Regards
