You see a group of men in suits and turbans standing on a bridge, some holding tools, others just watching. This isn’t a painting—it’s an early photograph. Raja Deen Dayal was one of the first Indian photographers to document British colonial life. The men look posed, but the scene feels real, like a quick snapshot of work in progress.
