Peace amidst Chaos - Holy Cows: These cows were the only still objects in a swarm of moving vehicles and people. Why they choose to stand in the middle of busy streets remains a mystery to me, but, throughout India, I encountered powerful spaces and moments of peace in the midst of the loud, dirty and crowded daily life of a country with a population of 1,139,964,932 people (2008). This photo is also about the strength of religious faith in India - the cow, a symbol of religious faith seems immune to the conditions surrounding it.
