Images from the Darkness

As an avid fan of Arvinda Adiga's masterpiece story - The White Tiger. I quote:
"Please understand your excellency, India is two countries into one: an India of Light and an India of Darkness."

Further the protagonist Balram Halwai, while dividing India into different shades of Light, almost heroically tells the tale sitting below his "chandelier" in his office.

A chandelier. wow. what an example.

In Indian weddings held in the India of Light, you will find Darkness just about everywhere. In the pictures below I kind of tried to capture that moment when the "Darkness" of India carry the "Light" on their heads to make the weddings look Grand - thus making a clear demarcation about "top" and "bottom".

The mobile chandeliers being carried by Darkness on their heads.
