Taking pictures at a Muslim wedding could be a tricky thing. Not like the traditional Hindu weddings that could take hours, the Muslim wedding itself takes only a minute as the couple sign the Nikahnama separately, and that’s it! By the time I finished photographing the bride, the bridegroom had already singed the Nikahnama in [...]
Of all the weddings I have photographed in India until now, it seems that the Bengali wedding is the most complex and diverse in terms of the enormous variety of customs and traditions. According to a fine lady I met at Maxima’s and Abhijit’s traditional Bengali wedding, no Bengali wedding can take place without the [...]
Kerala, God’s own country, is a favorite destination for a beach wedding, but a traditional Kerala wedding of the Syrian Christian church is something very different than what most people that come to Kerala had ever seen. Varshini and Alex, or as everyone calls him; Mithun, had a Syrian Christian wedding in Coimbatore, not far [...]
A south Indian wedding at the holy city of Madurai, Tamil Nadu, is indeed a unique experience. Madurai is the home of the historic Hindu temple Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple or Meenakshi Amman Temple. I am not really a ‘temple’ person, but I must admit that this temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva (in the form of Sundareswarar or Beautiful Lord) and his consort, Goddess Parvati (in the form of Meenakshi) is [...]

An arranged marriages is effectively the result of a wide search by both the girl’s family and the boy’s family. They check for compatibility [...]
This was definitely one of the weddings I had the most fun at since I started documenting weddings in India. Nishant and Smiti are one of those couples who had fun in their wedding, which is NOT a regular thing in India, as some of you might already know. I am not judging the arranged-marriage [...]
2009 had started with a bang and it seems that this year is going to be a good one if we can ever tell anything about a year by the way it starts. A friend of mine just said that great days always begins with great breakfasts so by this logic can we say that [...]
wow, I’ve been away for so long that it feels like another life almost. there was an assignment for the UN in Orissa right after the Ladakh shoot and then there was David & Monika’s wedding in Delhi after which I directly went to Hong Kong and only just came back. long month. So David [...]

I photograph the event like it is a documentary assignment and so the other photographers that were there doing their regular thing are in my picture of course I love it! I often recommend the couple to [...]
