Great atmosphere! although a little grainy, I like the silhouettes of the houses. It seems to be a very beautiful town. Thanks for the explanation!

Very well composed shot here Vibhor, the way you got silhouette of the temple, may be you wanted to highlight the fact of Hindu festival ;)

Jokes apart, pictures like this are really tricky and not easy to take, congratulations on getting such a nice one.
