Canadian photographer Raghuvamsh Chavali captures birds flying around Hyderabad’s Charminar in his series ‘Wings Over Concrete’. The award-winning project highlights urban bird life and offers a fresh perspective on the historic monument by focusing on movement in the sky above it.
Hyderabad-born Canadian photographer Raghuvamsh Chavali won the Best Author Award at the URBAN Animals 2025 International Photography Competition in Italy for his project ‘Wings Over Concrete’, a powerful visual narrative capturing the coexistence of birds and urban landscapes
