THE STORY OF PIYASHA & DEVANSHU

All the colour,
all the feeling.

Piyasha and Devanshu's story begins in sunlight. There are a few unhurried portraits, and then the calm disappears beneath hands full of turmeric and flowers. Everyone is part of the celebration.

Later, the colours change. Piyasha's red and gold sari catches the evening light. Devanshu waits among family and friends. The rituals bring them together, and afterward there is a little time to simply stand side by side.
