TEMPLES - OUR ART & CULTURE

As bastions of art, culture and spirituality, temples are the backbone of life in India. Rekha Vijayashankar captures the myriad facets of these establishments through her photographs of temples. Her photographs focus on the ancient sculptures and murals found in temples as well as on the lived beliefs that take place in the backdrop of these temples.  A photographer with DakshinaChitra, these images are her effort to document the rich cultural heritage of the country. At the same time, these photographs also reflect her desire to go back in time and experience a more indigenous way of life.
