Talking about it, the photographer Saurav, in his Facebook post wrote, "The intent behind the shoot was to draw public attention towards the floods of Bihar. When there are floods in other states, people from all over the country come forward to help. There isn't much mention of the floods in Bihar, in both national and international media. If you share a normal picture of a flood on social media, people see it, comment 'So Sad' and move on. I wanted people to stop and look at the pictures, so I did a photo shoot."
