Weddings in India are a grand event with many ceremonies and celebrations. Food is an integral part of such weddings, and families often take extra necessities to ensure that their guests do not go hungry. Thus, a lot of food is wasted in the process. In such a situation, a woman dressed on a railway platform in Bengal and a woman offering leftover food of marriage to the poor is made on sight. We don’t know if this is some deeper principle about reducing waste or the goal of feeding the homeless, but nonetheless, the woman’s effort has been very inspiring.
Wedding photographer Nilanjan Mandal, share Moments on Wedding Photographers’ page on Facebook. Mandal identified the woman as Papiya Kar, who was seen feeding leftover food to the poor at her brother’s wedding.
