Varanasi Flower Girls, by Shikchit Khanal

While traveling to Varanasi, India, once I woke up early morning to see its beautiful light. I walked down to the boats to watch the water and the sunrise when I came across these two young beautiful local girls selling flowers. I took their photos as they took the boat out to sell on the water.
