I was lying flat on the ground

waiting for the opportune

moment while our hoopoe

wildlife photographer.

Every year around February

people from all over gather

in a small village called

Kila Raipur in Ludhiana.

This village annually hosts

a moment to concentrate

before riding two horses

at the same time.
