One man stands still while a temple queue moves past at a fifteenth of a second, with everyone in the frame smeared except him.

The Still Point

This was taken just before the Kiara Academy programme in August 2026, on a street nearby, where a temple queue was moving past. I saw this man drawing the Vaishnava namam on the devotees’ foreheads, and he stood out from the crowd, so I followed him and shot what he did. At a fifteenth of a second everyone moves except him.
