Photos from an underground tunnel in New Delhi, India

This is a tunnel under Connaught Place, the busiest part of the city. Connaught place is the geographical centre of the city, and the hub of the Delhi Metro Rail Network. The Rajiv Chowk Metro Station located there is new New Delhi's Grand Central Station, in a way. This is a 1.2 KM utility tunnel that was built to house the electrical and communication cables as well as pipes for the water supply. Around the time it was being completed the Government opened it up to citizens for a few days, so I jumped at the chance to do what I knew would be a very unique photo opportunity, and I was not disappointed. I've presented the photos here as four sequential triptychs, as a narrative somewhere between fact and fiction:










**THE SENTINEL**
