Sri Mutharmman temple is located at Kulasekharapattinam village near Tiruchendur 55 km south of Tuticorin, Tamilnadu, India. In this temple, Dasara is celebrated as a big festival. Lakhs of people are assembled here to celebrate this festival. The uniqueness and oddity of the festival are that the devotees need not spend from their pocket.  On the last day, the seashores of this otherwise deserted coastal village turn into a veritable carnival of folk music and folk dance of the devotees in their chosen fancy dresses to either solicit the grace of or to thank for the boon granted by presiding deity Sri Muthramman considered to be the incarnation of Sakthi the consort of Lord Shiva in Hinduism.

I have visited this place in 2022 to photo document the events and their culture.

Getting Ready

In the world where technology makes us feel even more isolated, we decided to create a project that will be focused on community. We can all agree that a good cup of coffee comes pretty darn close to a nice big hug. So here's a hug from us to you with 6,000 uniquely brewed coffee junkies.

This picture was taken during "The Mayana Soora Thiruvizha" festival in 2013, which takes place every March (the day after Mahashivratri) in the small village of Kaveripattinam, Tamilnadu, India. The festival is devoted to Angalamman, a fierce guardian deity worshipped widely in Southern India.

It has been published in magazines and Adobe also licensed for 2 years (2015-2017)

Adobe Press also got the license to use this picture for their Book Cover "Adobe Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC for Photographers".

Divine Makeover

Black and white photography is the expression of pure form and composition, without the distraction and noise of color.

Minimalism is about finding joy and inspiration in simple things. it's about getting away from the chaos and clutter that surrounds us in our everyday lives. It's about stripping everything back to its most essential form, about finding what really matters, and then putting that first.

The Girl with a Kite

This is a collection of some of my favorite color travel portraits.

This is a portrait of Therukoothu (Street Play) artist. 

The word "Therukoothu" means "street play" in the Tamil Language. Therukoothu is a form of folk theatre that has been practiced in Tamilnadu for centuries. It is performed by a group of actors and musicians who travel from town to town and perform for an audience on the streets and in public places. Therukoothu draws its repertoire from our rich literary traditions and focuses on social issues, values, and everyday life. Therukoothu is an important form of expression in the state's cultural milieu today.

It is believed that bathing in the Ganges can purify one's soul and wash away their sins, and therefore it is a popular pilgrimage destination for millions of Hindus every year. Many people also perform various religious ceremonies and rituals on the banks of the river Ganges, which is considered one of the most sacred rivers in India.

Varanasi, alternatively called Banaras, is a city located on the banks of the Ganges and holds the distinction of being India's spiritual capital. It is recognized as one of the most sacred cities in Hinduism.
