Ganesh Chaturthi isn't just a festival; it's the heartbeat of our city. I use a mix of ground photography and drone perspectives to capture the scale, the chaos, and the deep devotion of Aamchi Mumbai.

About Ganesh Chaturthi: The Heartbeat of Mumbai

Shooting in the middle of a Ganesh Chaturthi procession isn't just about clicking buttons. Between the massive crowds, moving idols, and unpredictable traffic, you need someone who knows the logistics of these routes. I use my drone to cut through the density and get those wide-angle shots that show the sea of devotees, while staying on the ground to capture the raw, emotional expressions of the people involved. It is about balancing the cinematic scale with the intimacy of the rituals.
