This is one of the images that I made in last Allahabad Kumbh Mela 2019 while Sadhus of the Juna Akhara, the oldest and the largest Akhara, were in a mass initiation ceremony of becoming a Naga Sadhu (Naked Yogi). Becoming a Naga Sadhu is one of the most difficult periods of any Sadhu in their lifetime. During this initiation process, they must chop off their hair and perform their own as well as all the alive family members’ Pind Daan (after death rituals) and participate in a night-long sacred fire ceremony after they were inducted in the ancient order of Naga Sadhus. It’s very important to consider himself dead for the family and society. It’s really painful. I have seen Sadhus literally crying while performing the rituals.

This is one of my favourite images that I have mad

This is one of my favourite images that I have made in my last Lalibela Photo Tour at the Saint George church at the beginning of this year during “Genna (Ethiopian Christmas)”. Conducting a photo tour at Lalibela was a long-awaited dream come true that life has offered me.

Lalibela (ላሊበላ) is history and mystery frozen in stone, its soul is alive with the rites and wonders of Christianity at its most ancient and unbending phase. No matter what you’ve heard about Lalibela, no matter how many pictures you’ve seen of its breathtaking rock-hewn churches, nothing can prepare you for the reality of seeing it for yourself. It’s not only a World Heritage site but truly a World wonder.

The Church of Saint George is one of the eleven rock-hewn monolithic churches in Lalibela. It was carved downwards from a type of volcanic tuff from the late 12th or early 13th century AD and believed to have been constructed during the reign of King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela of the late Zagwe dynasty. It is among the best known and last built of the eleven churches in the Lalibela and has been referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

When you see it for the first time, the Church appears wholly inaccessible - with sheer drops on every side and no bridge for entrance. Then gradually you will find there is access via a very narrow man-made trench, spiralling downwards, which changes to a tunnel close to the church, to further hide its presence. I was honestly crawling, stumbling and limping through the dark trench and shooting those pilgrims who came to visit the church during the festival. At the end of the tunnel, all of a sudden you find the gigantic Church standing there tall and huge with shining rays of the Sun falling on the pilgrims reflecting a heavenly scenario. It looked a lot like biblical. It was really a magical moment for me!

I am grateful to my family, friends and well-wishers for their continuous support and encouragement. I am grateful to all my participants who have joined me during my workshops and photo-tours. I am also obliged to all my students for always backing me up.

I shot this image at Marrakesh during my last Moro

I shot this image at Marrakesh during my last Morocco Photo Tour. Marrakesh is a former imperial city in western Morocco which is a major economic centre and home to mosques, palaces and gardens. The medina is a densely packed, walled medieval city dating to the Berber Empire, with mazelike alleys where thriving souks (marketplaces) sell traditional textiles, pottery and jewellery. A symbol of the city, and visible for miles, is the Moorish minaret of 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque. But the typical thing what I found in most of the cities of Morocco is that all the cites are surrounded by very high rise walls. In this image, I wanted to show how high these walls are 😊

Gateway to Africa, land of breath-taking mountain ranges, ancient cities and sweeping deserts, Morocco is any photographer’s dream and the ideal place to host our epic photo tour.

Taking photos (of people) in Morocco, however, can be difficult, which is why this workshop was the ultimate challenge and the perfect opportunity for anyone who wanted to make a giant leap in their street photography skills and conquer their fears in street photography.

I shot this image during Maha Kumbh Mela in the ye

I shot this image during Maha Kumbh Mela in the year 2013 at Allahabad. Staying for 14 days in Allahabad during that time in a tent and sleeping on the ground has changed my life a lot. Maha Kumbh Mela 2013 was really magical. You just cannot compare 2013 Kumbh Mela with the present 2019 and especially the sodium vapour lamp at night had helped to create it an aura of ancient Kumbh Mela.

I had a clear instruction from my wife that whatever you may do, you must not go in to the river.. but I didn’t keep her promise. These two ladies were taking the holy dip in the Ganges at around 7 in the evening. The light was mystical and I couldn’t resist myself from creating a picture of them but I had a 5D Mark I with a 16-35 2.8 lens. As we know with a 16-35 one cannot make a picture like this because you need to be very close to your subject. They had to cross neck deep water to reach to that higher rise so did I. Until today it had been a secret to my wife and I don't know what she'll tell now.

I was ensured safety by my fellow photographer brothers without their help it wouldn’t have been possible.

I shot this lady at Guiyang, China, in a road side

I shot this lady at Guiyang, China, in a road side shop when she was cooking my dinner. This was during my last assignment to China in the month of October 2019 when there was no Corona Virus fear. I've personally seen how they slaughter all kinds animals in wildlife market and how unhygienic these kind of markets are!
The spread of a deadly strain of coronavirus, sourced to a wildlife market in Wuhan and now a global health emergency, according to the World Health Organization, has thrust China’s live wild animal trade into the spotlight. ..............................................................................

You know who I am…? I’m a Dom, the descendent

You know who I am…? I’m a Dom, the descendent of Raja Harishchandra… We are the keepers of the sacred fire, which is never allowed to die down, and are the cremators of the dead. You know I use to burn minimum 25 dead body per day. My face and hands burns everyday due to the heavy heat from the body. But This is my job and I love my job. I think this is also like any other job. The irony is that someday I had to burn like these bodies… Someday someone will also burn me…. This is reality and this is life. You have to accept it.
