ALL ARE WELCOME

Between December 2005 and March 2006, three photographers (two Indians and a French) explored South India together and participated in several important religious ceremonies. Through their lens, these humungous congregations of men, rituals, beliefs and dialogues between the human beings and their faith unfold a rare and intimate portrait of India.

Four religions are represented here through spectacular ceremonies: Deepam and Sivaratri at Tiruvannamalai for Hinduism, Kalachakra at Amaravati for Buddhism, Id Muharam at Chennai for Islam and Mahamastakabisheka at Saravanabelagola for Jainism.

Three talented perspectives presented in one exhibition.

Gallery timings:
Monday to Friday - 9 am to 7pm
