When asked what was it like to be a part of this fantastic event the Ambassador noted: “In my photography, I have described the Kumbh Mela as the sound of the hymns, the air laden with the fragrance of flowers and incense sticks, the skyline adorned with brightly decked up temples that break the cacophony of millions that descend, with the rhythmic chiming of bells and the chants of the mantras. The camps of the akharas and the historic monastic orders were also a big attraction.”
Some of the guests included kantha revivalist Shamlu Dudeja and her daughter Mallika Varma, Nandita Pal Chowdhury, CNN’s Carlyta Mohini, Chef Gaytri Kohli, Art Curator Reena Dewan, CCFC President Mr. Dinyar Mucadum and his wife Suparna, Sasha’s Toopsi Ray and art gallery owners Myna and Onkar Kakkar and Katayun Saklat.
