Speaking of the idea behind his photographs, Anil said, 'The monument witnessed massive destruction during the 1857 revolt and further deteriorated over time due to various factors. But those factors enhanced its beauty in unexpected ways. I've taken thousands of pictures of the Residency, it's the place where my creative expression flows and where my camera has captured its maximum shots.'
