Holi at Barsana, Vrindavan, Nandgaon

Every spring, the holy towns of Barsana, Nandgaon, and Vrindavan erupt into a kaleidoscope of color. From the playful chaos of Lathmar Holi in Barsana to the divine energy of Phoolon Wali Holi in Vrindavan, each moment is charged with emotion and visual poetry.

I photographed the soul of Holi in Braj Bhoomi — from the spirited Lathmar Holi of Barsana, where women playfully strike men with sticks, to the vibrant gulal-filled streets of Nandgaon and the devotional frenzy of Phoolon Wali Holi in Vrindavan.

Each frame captures not just the riot of colors, but the raw emotion, divine energy, and centuries-old rituals that make this celebration so visually powerful. As an artist deeply inspired by Indian culture, my aim was to portray the intimate moments behind the chaos — the laughter, the prayers, the music, and the stories woven into every splash of color.

Ganga Aarti at Varanasi

The Ganga Aarti in Varanasi is one of India’s most spiritually charged and visually captivating rituals. Performed every evening on the ghats of the sacred Ganges River, this ceremony blends fire, devotion, and rhythm into an unforgettable spectacle.

For me, the Ganga Aarti offers a rich tapestry of warm tones, dynamic movements, and sacred symbolism—ideal for creating timeless visual stories. It is a ritual that transcends mere observation—it demands to be experienced and immortalized.
