Faces of India – 127 Child Bride in Bakreshwar Temple

A young bride! She was getting married inside Bakreshwar Temple, West Bengal. As I zoomed into her I had my doubts whether she was 18 years of age. I felt she was a child.

Faces of India

a series through which I intend to portray the various characters of my country whom I met during my travels.
