    A man feeds the seagulls in the ghats of Varanasi at sunrise.Every year flocks of black-spotted seagulls come to Varanasi to escape harsh weather .The ghats in the morning are filled with people feeding the birds which revive their energy to fly back. This has been a tradition in India linking good karma through action. The local boatman do bird tours.Such actions linking tradition and livelihood brings humans closer to other species and reflect on the interdependency.
