### My story

For me, photography started as just a happy escape, but everything shifted after I saw Ganesh Vanare’s Wari photos. I had to feel that energy myself. Last year, walking into Alandi temple, I met him—felt like fate, honestly. That trip made me see my art with new eyes. Wari mhanje chalna nahi, te manan vahanam asta (Wari isn’t just walking, it’s moving with your heart). That’s the soul I try to bring into every photo. Grateful, always.
