Cultural portraits of India
This book is a celebration of India on the occasion of the nation’s fiftieth anniversary of independence. For over a decade, photographer Lindsay Hebberd traveled the length and breadth of India to capture the beauty and diversity of one of the most colorful and fascinating countries on earth. Originally produced for an international exhibition tour, these photographs illustrate the natural beauty and cultural landscape of India, with strikingly beautiful images of the country’s landscape, peoples, and celebrations.
India’s vast territory has been settled by successive waves of immigrants over 5,000 years, shaping its immense cultural diversity. Cultural Portraits of India brings together brilliant color photographs with perceptive essays by Indian writer Mira Kamdar, offering rare glimpses of dramatic vistas, traditional arts, and the cultural complexity of India. The book highlights the coexistence of ancient traditions with modern developments, celebrating India’s heritage with respect, appreciation, and affection. Each chapter begins with an essay, followed by photographs with detailed and informative captions, leaving the reader both informed and enchanted.
