As a photojournalist, I specialise in the culture and heritage beat, capturing regional and national jatras, festivals and rituals, and local people and places through my lenses. For every occasion, however, there are only so many photos that can be published in the paper the next day; and for every published photo, there are bound to be a few that slip through the cracks.

This is a collection of ‘off-the-record’ photographs that haven’t made the cut yet. The photographs document what I see and feel while waiting for that perfect shot.
