Capture the spirit of devotion by shooting early mornings or during evening aarti for the best light. Use a zoom lens to respect pilgrims’ space while getting close-up details. Focus on emotions, colors, and group dynamics. Capture decorated kanwars, street scenes, and rituals. Always ask for permission when photographing individuals. Carry extra batteries, memory cards, and a rain cover. Respect religious sentiments—be mindful of your presence while documenting this vibrant pilgrimage.
