I spent my early years exploring various regions of India. Thanks to the Festival of India, I had the unique opportunity to visit Nagaland for a shoot in 1984. I was barely 24, and this assignment marked the beginning of my self-funded exploratory assignment and visual documentation of one of the remotest states in India, which spanned over six years. Subsequently, I read many books and accounts of early travellers, and the works of anthropologist Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf, which inspired my further explorations.
