Photos: How the lockdown changed Delhi’s visual landscape

About The Gallery
Delhi's iconic commercial landmarks have been photographed for decades for their clusters of people and how they form a visual reference to map the larger city and its intricacies. The idea behind this photo essay is to show how movement restrictions change the visual imagination of landmarks in the city. Using archival images of the city’s most frequented spots and juxtaposing them against photos of what they looked like on Saturday, April 4, the eleventh day of the nationwide lockdown to curb the coronavirus outbreak, one can see that the capital looks like a shadow of itself—waiting to welcome its people back like never before.
