Shete has indeed caught several humane and sensitive moments between the Warkaris along the way of their pilgrimage. We are presented with an image of a man lifting up his old mother on his broad shoulders while in the next frame, another man lifts his little daughter on to his shoulders. There are images of camaraderie between groups of women cooking hundreds of chapattis, huddled against the monsoon while drinking tea at an encampment or sharing the same rug on the floor to sleep the night off under a truck. Shete has singled out these groups from the teeming millions and it says a lot about his keen eye for compassion.

In another image two men play the fugdi—a custom usually associated with women—this is juxtaposed against images of women balancing the tulsi plant and pots of water on their heads for long distances. Clearly, the pilgrimage is beyond class and gender—people dance, sing and engage in sporting activities like wrestling and swimming.

Meanwhile, the police try to do their job to manage the crowds.
