India is not a place, it is an experience. And the Ganges is not a river, it is an aspect of the divine. Born and brought up in Rajasthan, Raghubir Singh felt the spell of the river, its destructive power, and its majesty. Although he lived for many years in the West, he returned to the river again and again. He saw its contradictions as part of a process of growth and change: naked sadhus and ancient rituals alongside electric crematoria and modern ports.
This book brings to life Raghubir Singh's personal pilgrimage along the Ganges, from the Himalayas, where the river rises among snows, through the villages of the Gangetic Plain, past Banaras and through Bihar, to the Bay of Bengal
between India and Bangladesh. On the journey he captured the essence of the river's many different stages and moods, its strange and stunning beauty, its ferocity during the monsoon, the intimate daily lives of the people who live along it, and its powerful religious significance, attested by the millions of Hindus who take part in the ageless pilgrimages and festivals along its banks. 123 color photographs.

Book Description: Thames & Hudson, London, UK, 2003. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. 26.7 Cms x 23.5 Cms. Raghubir Singh was one of the twentieth century's finest documentary photographers. In these pictures there is more than the conventionally beautiful: in them we are brought face to face with Loknadi, the river of the world. This is Raghubir Singh's personal pilgrimage along the Ganges: from the Himalayas, where the river rises among snows, through the villages of the plain, past Banaras and through Bihar to the Bay of Bengal. He captures its stunning beauty, its turbulence and ferocity during the monsoon and the daily lives of the people who live along it. He shows the river's powerful religious significance, attested by the millions of Hindus who take part in the ageless pilgrimages and festivals held on the Ganges' banks. Raghubir Singh's own inspiring and profound introductions to each section demonstrate that what he notices with his mind he can capture to an amazing degree with his camera.
