Artists Statement   My faith evolved one morning at Haridwar on letting the river Ganga takeover my Grandfathers ashes. That was three years back, and the faith persisted. Born in a country of innumerable Gods and many beliefs, chasing the human spirit came naturally. The presentation here is about the enormous/energetic spirit, in its very diverse forms; a momentary pause in the continuity of the chaotic life. The works of Raghu Rai and Raghubir Singh have impressed the world, and likewise have a deep influence on me. My formal education of Architecture, another creative language, makes me pause to feel and to touch that spirit. The camera becomes a tool to freeze that moment and to relive the past. My quest has taken me across the plains of India, travelling to Haridwar, Varanasi and the Kumbh Mela at Nashik.
