They are all pictures of women doing everyday activities: a woman on a street, a woman playing the piano in her home, a woman lounging in a boat, a woman at a table in a restaurant.

All unremarkable, except that they are wearing a cow mask.

The photographs aim to highlight the growing violence against women in India, while also drawing attention to a wave of attacks on religious minorities accused of eating beef or slaughtering cows - considered sacred by many Hindus.

"People are getting lynched in this country to protect cows. But women's safety is neglected and violence against women is rising," photographer Sujatro Ghosh said of his project.
