The look

A person from North India came to visit Gangasagar on the occasion 'Sankranti' amid the Covid-19 pandemic. In spite of Govt imposed social distancing rules and Covid-19 regulations, pilgrims gathered in the holy 'Sankranti' bath at the Gangasagar, the confluence of the holy river Ganga and the Bay of Bengal. He was looking straight toward me as I was taking a photograph of him.
