Two days after Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's World Culture Festival on the Yamuna plains, you can still see the guru's face splashed across the venue — not on tall billboards but on filth-covered posters littering the ground, along with piles of discarded plastic bottles and half-eaten, rotting food. The few animals left are distraught and the plains cry out for help. 

Just how much can you restore a ravaged land? Look for yourself. 

 

THE LITTER TRUTH: The venue is being cleared, but where does the garbage go?  

 

BARREN LANDS: Would you call this a river bed?

 

EAT YOUR GREENS: A buffalo manages to find some grass to graze on.

 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Leftovers from three nights of culture. 

 

I'M LEAVING THIS PLACE: Good call, bird.
