Different shades of Patna comprising stills of urban life to the ensigns of rural landscapes, illuminated streets to darkness downing on the city, sky- high monuments to dilapidated roads, the gusto of life to evening silhouette were all there exhibiting the latent potentials and dexterity of the city's young lensworms. Venue was the Patna Women's College (PWC); occasion was the two-day photo exhibition based on theme ‘Patna: Cityscape and street life” to mark World Photography Day.

Minati Chaklanavis, head of mass communication department, declared the exhibition a giant step forward by the girls in storming the male bastion. She said, “Society sometimes undermines the potential of women. The exhibition is breaking the myth that women are not so good so far technology is concerned. Decades ago photography was considered as men’s industry and fit only for them. Now women are coming up with creative and professional lens art.”
