The picture is from Ranaghat station in West Bengal, the woman is surrounded by metal buckets and big containers filled with food and serving meals on paper plates by herself. The photographer, Nilanjal Mondal identified the woman as Papiya Kar. According to Mondal, the food was from her brother’s wedding reception that day. Seeing a huge amount of food that was left, she took it upon herself to deliver it to those in need. A lot of people were gathered to get a serving of the delicious food including elderly women, little children, rickshaw drivers, and many more.
Mondal shared a few pictures in a Facebook wedding photographers’ group, but the thoughtful and generous deed soon crossed over to other platforms in no time. Many locals who came across her photos on social media, shared that it’s not the first time that she has helped the underprivileged and that she is known to feed the needy in the locality. Many praised her for her actions highlighting the wastage of food at such big functions and hoped that her act of kindness can inspire others to take such initiatives.

All it takes is a phone call, and you will have used all that food and the money you heartily spent on it for a good cause. Couples seek blessings on their wedding day, and what better blessing than the one from full stomachs and hearts?
