Event Description : EXHIBITION "Udvada" An exhibition of photographs by Shantanu Das from Mumbai

Udvada, the historic ground for the Parsi community in India is known world wide for its significance to the Parsi clan's growth, housing the AtashBehram (from Middle Persian AtashWarharan for "Victorious Fire", the highest grade of ritual fire of the Zoroastrians) in the fire temple located here. Udvada has a unique culture, a serenity and simplicity that is worth a watch. Its dynamic location along the Maharashtra and Gujarat border does little to conceal its uniqueness. Pictures captured by photographer, Shantanu Das depict its nostalgia, its semi-urban settings and distinctive heritage in terms of architecture, furniture, lifestyle and more. Pervez Damania, noted businessman first drew Shantanu's attention to this place. In the words of Shantanu, "I chose Udvada because of its immense need for restoration and its historic importance which is being lost in this fast-paced world. No one has the time to stop and look around this place."

About the Photographer: In the field of photography for the last 17 years; and working as a photojournalist in Mumbai, Shantanu began his tryst with photography from the development of a fondness for his uncle’s prehistoric 120-format Agfa click 3 camera.

His first Coffee Table book “UDVADA” was launched in Feb 2014.  He has received various national and international awards and accolades for his work such as the National Geographic Traveler Photography Award in 2011 and the MFI National Press Photo Award in 2011 & 2012 among others. His work has been exhibited across several cities in India and around the globe from Spain, the Caribbean islands, Philippines, Austria and Germany.
