Kala's Rainbow – Photographic Expression

Case Studies: India

This picture too became a point of interest and discussion. It was taken opportunistically by Kala against advice from adults that it would not work! It came to represent both the ephemeral beauty of the rainbow itself and the fact that Kala seized the moment and caught the image meant that it was referred to later as `Kala's Rainbow'; it became `her' picture.
