ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Zanskar is virtually a secret land, tucked away deep in the Himalayas, with innumerable nameless mountains spreading across infinite spaces. The landscape - desolate, arid, and stark - presents a formidable spectacle.

 

A sight of the luminous mountains, spreading far beyond vision, leaves the viewer awestruck and humbled. Mineral reserves in the Zanskar Himalayas impart enchanting rainbow hues to the rocks.

 

Time is measured here in seasons, not days and weeks.

 

USHA VOHRA has been a keen photographer for the past several years.

Most of the photographs of the mountains have been taken from a helicopter.
