Description

Golden hour at the Grand Trunk Road (now NH19), somewhere between Allahabad and Varanasi. very approximate location.

The Grand Trunk Road (or GT Road) is one of Asia's great historical roads and a major route connecting much of the Indian subcontinent; it runs through parts of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. There was trade along parts of the route far earlier, but the road became clearly established during the Maurya Empire, 322 – 185 BCE, when it was known as uttarapatha (road to the north) and ran from the mouth of the Ganges (near what later became known as Calcutta and is now called Kolkata), through the Empire's capital in what is now Patna, then via the then-great trading city Taxila and through Afghanistan, all the way to the Central Asian region of Bactria. <a href="https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Grand_Trunk_Road" rel="nofollow">en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Grand_Trunk_Road</a> In photography, the golden hour is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky.
