Ganga - Raghibur Singh, introduction Eric Newby
sacred river of India
KORTE INHOUD
The Ganga is many things to many people. To million of Indians, it is the river that washes sin and ensures a place in heavenly abode in life herafter. T some Indians, it is the river that spreads superstition and disease, and brings death and destruction. To Raghubir Singh, the Indian photographer, the Ganga is an adventure, a passion - almost an obsession.
His magnificent photographs, which together paint the most vivid and uninhibited portrait, to date, of the great river, are the work of several years of labour. Raghubir Singh is not a religious man in the traditional Indian sense and yet, lik millions and millions of others before him, he too was drawn to the Ganga. For the better part of six years, he wandered along the river, from its source at Gomukh in the Himalayas to the point of its diffluence, at Sagar Island in the Bay of Bengal, a watercourse of 1560 miles. What is it really that inspires such passion, such obsession?
