About Me
A Journey of Love, Respect, and a Home Called Arunachal
I am a highway engineer by profession, but Arunachal Pradesh made me a photographer at heart. For more than fifteen years, I have wandered through its valleys, villages and festivals, trying to capture the spirit of a land that eventually became my second home. I am not a trained or technical photographer—whatever beauty people find in my pictures belongs to the people of Arunachal, their culture, their smiles, and the warmth they have always given me.
My work has appeared in travel magazines, coffee table books, and even in government offices and Indian embassies abroad. Along this journey, I have been blessed with a few recognitions—the State Silver Medal, the Wipro–NFS Sparrow Award, the National Himalayan Photographic Award, and the e-North East Award for my volunteer website www.amazingarunachal.com.
But awards were never the purpose. My bond with Arunachal has given me far more than I could ever give back. The people call me a “Tourism Ambassador,” but in truth, I am just a grateful outsider who fell in love with this incredible land and its beautiful people—and they welcomed me like family.
