I traveled to the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan in 2007 and fell in love with the place. It is the most pristine country I have been to, encumbered in the gigantic mountains with beautiful valleys and rivers. There is an aura of spirituality and peace throughout the place. Everything I saw there inspired my photography – the nature, the landscapes, the Buddhist forms of worship, the architecture and, of course, the people!

This exhibition is divided into 4 segments to showcase photographs of different aspects of Bhutan. I sincerely hope that it will inspire fellow-travelers to visit this beautiful yet little-known corner of the world.
