Self-taught photographer Amarjeet Kumar Singh captured this moment at a behrupiya (impressionist) event in New Delhi. Behrupiyas impersonate well-known and identifiable characters to entertain the masses. In this particular photo, an artist dressed as Hanumān – the Hindu god symbolizing strength and energy – takes a short break during the performance. Behrupiya was once widespread, but is now a more marginal part of Hindu culture. Singh works as a freelance photographer for DNA, a national broadsheet – a role which he says presents regular opportunities to capture ‘beauty in the ordinary’.
