Palak says, “Photography empowers me to capture a moment in time which is mundane yet beautiful and leaves multiple impression on the viewer.” c m y b He started of his professional journey at the age of 17. The featured pictures in this exhibition are mere glimpses from a captivating photo series, a preview of a larger narrative encapsulated in his book, Kashi, which Palak plans to release soon. Ask if one has to be religious to present a city like Kashi or Ayodhya, and Palak quips, “I did not step inside temples or spiritual places to capture these scenes.
