“If I had to travel with just one lens… this would be it.”
Over the years of shooting in the Himalayas, deserts and remote villages, the 24-70mm has become the one lens that never leaves my camera bag.
Wide enough for landscapes.
Tight enough for stories.
Light enough to travel everywhere.
Which focal length do you use the most while traveling?

(WARNING ‼️ DISTURBING VISUALS)
Where flames do not mourn death,
they celebrate liberation.
“Manikarnika” - where the end becomes eternal. 🕉️🕊️
This series is part of a photographic project from my time in Varanasi in 2024. These images are not meant to disrespect anyone or hurt sentiments. They simply document the raw and unfiltered reality of life and death at Manikarnika Ghat.
Those who have witnessed this place understand its depth - the silence, the rituals, and the acceptance of the inevitable.
(Kindly skip this post if you’re faint-hearted.) 🙏🏻
