the temple
Namaste,
I’ve been a photographer for almost 20 years and have waited 12 long years to feel this power and force of the ‘Maha Kumbh’, But to travel back in time with me ….You have to empty your mind and focus all your thoughts on the “ Music ”.
These may be pictures for you but I’ve lived every moment, made relationships, spent time with the most beautiful human beings, it means the world to me, you seeing this. This 15 day journey is very special and close to my heart and a part of me now lives in Sangam forever.
My imagination is inspired by watching movies, anime, playing video games and listening to all genres of music. I strongly believe that my photographs, much like film, should be viewed with the correct background score. I have always been inclined towards cinematography and handling the camera. My attempt is to showcase the ‘Maha Kumbh’ as a film, through images, and that’s the reason why the ’music’ is critical.
I walked, searched, looked and found. I had to keep moving— sleeping behind cars, sneaking past cops, jumping barricades—laughing, crying and dancing along the way. These memories will stay with me forever, and I want you to feel the love and energy I experienced, the way I felt it.
During the Kumbh, I felt contrasting and powerful energies—the darkness and the divinity intertwining. It was overwhelming. The darkness, if not confronted, can consume you, change you, reshape the way you think, the way you act. But to fight it, you must..
‘ Fall In Love ’ You must find divinity within yourself, and in the ones you love ,
Love them so so much that their soul becomes a part of you.
It’s been some years since I travelled or took photographs, I lost my pet, i was a little sad. He is everything to me, my life, my baby, my dragon (Ryu)🐉
I apologize for any technical mistakes I’ve made as a Photographer. I've tried to capture and keep everything as ’Real’ as possible.
I gave it my 99% to show you what I’ve wanted to see for a decade, seeing my photographs without sound is like going to the temple and not ringing the bells.
My love for the camera is ‘Magical‘ and ‘Unstoppable’ and i promise you..
“ I will only get better ”
