Unpretentious Photographs From India: From 5 Years on The Road

My Best Photographs From India

It shouldn’t matter that I had planned to publish these best photographs from India on Independence Day, that is, August 15. But I am traveling, and transits, adventure, and writing about the adventures must not have left me time. Or, better to say, I did not make time to finish this photo essay on India. India as seen through my eyes.

I am here now, and that is all that matters. These pictures of India were taken by my partner, Sagar, or me while we drove around the country for five years with all our things in our car and without a home to turn a key in. Our car and whatever home we found on the road were our home. We had a pressure cooker and our house slippers with us, ready to be taken under any roof.

During these five years, a lot of things happened. India surprised us every day. These photos from India are not the most beautiful photographs that we took. Nor are they the most Instagrammable or printable.

These snapshots of India have one thing in common.
