Pehchan Launches MyMumbai 2026 Calendar Project
Pehchan, an organization, has started a special project called the MyMumbai 2026 Calendar.
In this project, 34 homeless people in Mumbai took pictures of their daily lives.
They made 945 pictures, and a group of judges chose the best 40 for a calendar.
Important people, like a retired government officer and a journalist, said these pictures show the real life of Mumbai in a way that many people don't see.
The project wants to show the strength and beauty of the city's homeless communities.
It also wants to give them a chance to tell their stories and be heard.
The calendar is a way to celebrate their work and make others appreciate the everyday moments in Mumbai that often go unnoticed.
Pehchan launched the MyMumbai 2026 Calendar Project, featuring photographs taken by 34 homeless individuals in Mumbai.
The project collected 945 images, with 40 selected for the final calendar through a combination of expert judging and public voting.
The photographs highlight the resilience, dignity, and everyday experiences of Mumbai's homeless communities.
Notable figures, including a retired IAS officer and a senior journalist, praised the project for offering insights into the lived realities of the city's marginalized populations.
