Bihar has one of the oldest civilizations in India, but its historic sites are in urgent need of conservation. In the course of my work, I had a chance to visit Munger and its fort. These monuments have witnessed a great deal over the centuries, but today they are in needof care and attention. The fort lies around 9 kilometres from the main urban settlement of Munger. Known yet ignored by the growing population, the fort has become an evening spot for locals. Once in a million days, the village and fort are visited by some eminent personality or other, but the rest of the time every day is the same. You can find a variety of people gathering here as the evening draws on. A few old people discussing religion and politics, women in separate groups discussing family affairs with understated yet heartfelt emotions, a few youths making the evening smokier, and of course the iconic Bihar sight – cattle and their owners. As the evening grows darker, silence spreads, leaving the ruin to look ever more haunted. This is how it looks at night. So, pack your gear and please capture how your village looks. Keeping shooting… keep posting!
