About Me

I am a Documentary/Architectural photographer and a Google Trusted 360° Virtual Reality Photographer. My work involves creating panoramic photos of locations across the globe on Google Maps. I was the first Google Trusted 360° Photographer to create 360° Virtual Reality Photos of Tanzania and Zanzibar. Apart from Google, in 2015 I was selected as one of the 25 participants across India to be part of the internationally acclaimed Photo Documentation Project-Project 365 Initiative by the Ekalokam Trust for Photography (www.etpindia.org) and curated by noted contemporary photographer Abul Kalam Azad. In 2018, selected works from this collection, titled "AGNISHYLUM", were showcased at various art galleries and locations in India. In 2021, selected works from this collection titled "ELEMENTS AND FRAGMENTS" were exhibited in Magnet Art Galleries in Melbourne, Australia. I am a spiritual seeker and an adventurous, fun-loving person, and I am interested in almost everything. I am immensely in love with nature, mountains, farms, and travel. I wanted to experience different cultures and foods, meet new people, and experience life in a new and interesting way. My plan is to travel across the globe to see the cultural differences and see where the adventure takes me. I'm curious, patient, and extremely motivated to discover new things in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Documenting the past and present of Ancient temple town Thiruvannamalai

as a part of project-365, a coordinated effort for

the preservation of ancient heritage.

A yearlong photo-mapping of an ancient temple town in India and a

photo-documentary of its culture and people, intertwined with the

history of the land.

Thiruvannamalai is an ancient town in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu,

with a documented history of 1300 years. The town though built around

the historical Annamalai temple, was also an abode to the various

kingdoms of the ancient India, leaving the town rich with numerous

historic artefacts and monuments.

Thiruvannamalai, globally is among the very few historical towns to

have retained its past but still is not documented much. This is an effort

to take a deeper look into the past of the historical town through its

present- the remnants of monuments and the people who still live in an

era bygone.
