Katputli

Thrilled to share that my "Kathputli" photograph has been published! 

Capturing the vibrant artistry, rich textures, and timeless heritage of these traditional Rajasthani puppets has been a deeply meaningful artistic endeavor. 

Seeing this image featured in publication is a wonderful recognition of that visual journey, and I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share a piece of Indian folk culture with a broader audience.

My Photograph - Pattis Dolls

 Exciting news! 

My photo of a traditional Rajasthani Katputli string puppet is featured on Patti’s Dolls Shop (Page 3 of their gallery)! Really cool to see my picture being used to celebrate traditional puppet craftsmanship alongside modern art dolls.

Pachrangi Pagdi

 In India, headwear is far more than a simple accessory; it is a vibrant symbol of identity, honor, and deep-rooted heritage. Across different regions, distinct styles carry profound cultural significance—from Rajasthan's five-colored Pachrangi Pagdi, worn during festive occasions to represent unity and brotherhood, to regional headgear that reflects local pride and community traditions. Each fold and vibrant shade tells a story of lineage, respect, and celebration, highlighting the incredible diversity and artistic traditions that define the Indian subcontinent.

I am deeply honored to see this image featured in the renowned publication Lion's Roar for their article:

Haunted Fort

Thrilled to share! 📸  

Architectural Digest has published my photograph in their story on "7 Haunted Palaces and Forts in India That You Shouldn't Visit Alone".

I had captured this during my sojourn in Delhi at the Tughlaqabad Fort — a place that’s truly massive, steeped in history, and yes, famously haunted. 

It feels wonderful to see my art find its desired place on such a prestigious platform.
