A photograph captured by Guwahati based photographer Anupam Nath has been selected for TIME's Top 100 photographs of 2017.
The brilliant photo by Nath, captured at Panbari village, near Chandrapur shows villagers offering flowers to a wild tusk, laying dead in a field. The photograph was clicked on 2nd November 2017.
Speaking to G Plus, Anupam Nath said, "The photograph was very random for me. The moment when human beings offered flowers to a dead body was very thought provoking and emotional. I saw a giant body lying dead on the field, and human beings offering flowers at one part of the body of that dead animal. So, I thought of capturing that part of the animal only, rather than the whole animal.
Sharing his excitement about the achievement, Nath said, "It's a big thing to get a small photograph published in TIME. I am very happy to see my capture getting a position among thousands of brilliant photographs."
Anupam Nath works as a photgrpaher at Associated Press.
