About the Photographer - Hitesh Brahmbhatt

Hitesh Brahmbhatt is a firm follower of JAINISM. Based in Mumbai,
 Photography, for him, is just an artistic pursuit with endless
rewards. The creation of an image is always an exciting journey.
Forever, capturing these beautiful moments converts this journey
into joy.  The challenge, for him as a photographer, exploring in
depth the subject involved with instinct in recording Impressions
 to such a moment in time. His goal is to give this momentary image
its own voice. He has been working & exploring on this theme from
last 12 months while visiting many Jain Temples in the states of
Gujarat, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Bihar, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh.
 Apart from his 31 religious trips to Palitana, he had 9 more trips,
especially while working on this Theme.

Hitesh Brahmbhatt has selected the Best pictures on this Theme,
for this exhibition out of his total collection of more than
7,400 pictures on Various Themes of Jainism ONLY. The title of this
exhibition is "Dhaja Varasganth". The light and shade effect gives
these pictures a 3 dimensional quality. This will be a rare opportunity
to see a photographic exhibition of such a unique artistic and divine
 subject.  He hopes that his images speak to you of the aesthetics
and sensations of the Jain Temples & their ritual in India.
