Pigeon fancier - kabooter baz - Old Delhi, India

A pigeon fancier on a rootop in Old Delhi India. He calls to bring his birds back to the loft, and uses a net to catch them. Pigeon racing has been a passion in India since the Moghuls themselves kept the birds centuries ago. Thousands of rupees can be won or lost on each race, and the pigeon fanciers - kabooter baz - often try to kidnap other fancier's birds to hold them to ransom.
