Raghu Rai tells India

Dhaka: Renowned Indian photographer Raghu Rai's exhibition here narrates the "unending story" of India through evocative photographs. "They say a good photograph is worth a thousand words. But a thousand words can be a lot of noise. How about some silence - a moment in space which is non-negotiable," Rai said at the opening of the exhibition here on September 9.

"The emergence of the unseen and revelation of the unknown leaves me amazed! The experience becomes a 'darshan'. What a country of mine!" said Rai. The exhibition at Bengal Gallery is a chance to experience Rai's philosophy of photography, in particular aesthetics. It is also an opportunity to witness some spectacular moments immortalised by a master photographer, The Daily Star newspaper said.

Over 50 photographs - both colour and black and white - are on display at the exhibition. The images narrate individual stories, fragments of the vast Indian canvas. Sharing his views on the theme of the exhibition, Rai said: "The experience of India is horizontal, it doesn't begin from anywhere, nor does it end anywhere. It is the panoramic experience that allows me to photograph the throbbing of several energies on one given canvas."

Rai has produced 20 books, including `Raghu Rai's Delhi', `The Sikhs', `Taj Mahal', `Tibet in Exile', `Indira Gandhi' and `Mother Teresa'. Rai's photographs suggest that he has travelled almost every nook and corner of India. His kaleidoscopic journey saw a group of wrestlers under the Howrah Bridge in Kolkata, as well as a boisterous Sikh wedding in Punjab. In between Rai's lens captured moments in Rajasthan, Ahmedabad, Jaisalmer, Delhi, Kashmir and other places. Many of his photos avoided the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, and depict the tranquil life outside city limits.
