About the project
When winter descends upon the Kashmir Valley, temperatures plummet and the iconic Dal Lake transforms into sheets of brittle ice enveloped in ethereal fog.
Frozen Kashmir explores the stillness and resilience of the community during the harsh winter months, framing fishermen breaking ice at dawn and snowbound pine forests in monochrome clarity.
