Jama Masjid by Ankush Kochhar

Captured during the holy month of Ramadan, this photograph immortalizes the Jama Masjid during the ethereal blue hour. The photographer skillfully waited for the sky to reach its most magnificent hue, creating a striking contrast against the historic architecture. By choosing a wide 18mm focal length, the image captures the grandeur of the mosque while maintaining an intimate connection to the atmosphere of the moment. This work is award-worthy for its masterful use of natural light and its ability to convey the profound spiritual serenity that defines this iconic Delhi landmark.
