As a photographer born and raised in Pondicherry, India, my hometown holds a special place in my heart. This collection of photographs is a tribute to the city that shaped me and inspired my art.

The series captures the essence of Pondicherry, with its colorful temples, bustling markets, daily wage workers, and beautiful colored buildings. These photographs evoke the sights and sounds of my childhood, and the memories of the vibrant city that still fills me with joy and wonder.

Each photograph in this collection tells a story of Pondicherry, from the intricate details of its temples and the colorful displays of its markets to the vibrant energy of its people. Through my lens, I aim to convey the unique character of Pondicherry, with its blend of French and Indian cultures, and its history of colonialism and independence.

For me, returning to Pondicherry is a source of comfort and inspiration. These photographs are a celebration of the city that continues to hold a special place in my heart, and a tribute to the people and places that make it so special.
