Cattle who are dependent on Nyari are struggling for survival

Nyari today, has been a stockpile of surrounding waste

Cattle dying on these arid plains

This series of documentary photographs is a reflection of our recent interventions in nature. Nyari River which is sufficing the basic need of our Rajkot city, is also used as a dump yard by the people living nearby. The photographs here are knowingly or unknowingly the result of this activity. This series is an attempt to understand how greedy we humans are. We are too busy to understand the importance of natural resources and the pandemic has made sure to make us realize that. Not only us but the animals that are dependent on these resources are suffering too. Moreover, we will lose our identity. The new face of this place and our planet will be scarier than these images.
