I capture the raw energy and vibrant spirit of Maharashtra’s festivals. Whether it is a procession or a quiet pandal visit, I document the real story behind the celebration.

About Cultural & Street Festivals

For these busy processions, I don't just stand back and watch. I use a rugged, dual-camera setup to weave through the crowd, switching quickly between wide-angle shots of the idol and tight, emotional portraits of the devotees. My focus is on the vibe—the gulal, the lights, and the movement—so you get images that actually feel like the event.
