Patna is gearing up for a moving photo exhibition that dives deep into the lives of Bihar’s flood-hit residents. ‘Visual Tales: Cycles of Survival,’ part of the ‘Nature 2026’ series, opens its doors from February 6-8 at Kamla Nehru Shishu Vihar High School, Patliputra Colony.
Every monsoon, northern Bihar transforms into a watery labyrinth, disrupting everything from farming to family life. This collection of striking images captures those raw moments: submerged farmlands, displaced families, and the quiet determination to start anew.
Photographers have masterfully documented not just the chaos of floods but the heroic rebounds that follow. Pictures reveal children studying under tarps, farmers salvaging crops, and communities banding together in relief efforts. These visuals underscore a profound truth—resilience isn’t chosen; it’s forged in adversity.
The exhibit’s core mission transcends sorrow, spotlighting the inherent strength and pride of these groups. By presenting unfiltered realities, it aims to influence disaster policy, connecting on-the-ground struggles with decision-makers. It’s a call to recognize and support the innovative survival strategies born from necessity.
Mark your calendars for this three-day event, running 10:30 AM to 8 PM each day. Whether you’re a local or traveler, this is your chance to witness stories of hope amid hardship, sparking conversations on sustainable flood defenses for Bihar’s vulnerable regions.
