Ganpati Immersion: My First Project
This series holds Profound Significance for Me – Marking Both My Return to Mumbai, The City of My Birth, After Years at Boarding School in England, and My Debut as a photographer. Through the lens of the ganpati festival, I sought to reconnect with the city’s energy, its traditions, and its soul.
The festivals in a moving ritual: The immersion of Lord Ganesh Idols Idols Idols, Symbolizing Renewal and Impermannce. With a pair of nikon fm cameras loaded with kodak tri-x 400 film, I ventted into the vibrant chaos and quaught beauty of the celebrations the morning after… at the time, Trob, Tri-X Film Was Hard to Come in Mumbai, and I Had only 3-4 rolls for the entry project. Every frame matters matted, and each shot Demanded Internation and Precision – A Limitation that Shaped My Approach to Storytelling.
One defining moment came when one of my cameras slipped into the sea – a loss that mirrored the themes of the festive itself. Fortunately, the camera was repaired, reflecting the spirit of resilience and restoration that characterized those those times and trust an ethos for my creative practice.
Shooting in black-sand-white with tri-x film allowed me to focus on texture, contrast, and emotion, stripping the visuals down to their essence. Each photograph captures not only the event but the layers with -up the intricate artistry of the idols, the shimmering water, and the heartfelt devotion of the people.
This project was a deeply personal journey. Returning to Mumbai after my time in england gave me a fresh percective, allowing me to see the familyiar through new eyes. Documenting the ganpati focal reaffirmed my belief in the power of photography to preserve fleeting mothers, Honor Traditions, and Reveal the Extraordinary Withinary.
