A Muslim at prayer in Abhaneri, a small village in Southeastern Rajastahn. India is home to the third largest Muslim population in the world (after Indonesia and Pakistan). Yet only 13 per cent of India's population is Muslim. More than 80 percent of Indians are Hindus. Expressions of faith are part and parcel of daily life. This man is praying on the steps of an ancient reservoir built to provide a constant water supply to the village. His white costume and the sun-baked wall of the reservoir behind him starkly contrast to the wood-framed shadowed door at right. After making this image, I thought he may have chosen to pray in the hot sun because it made him feel that much closer to Allah.
