Though there are countless albums of photographs of India which include images of bazaars, this book is the first which focuses exclusively on India`s commercial districts. Dinesh Khanna`s work is about colour, texture, people, and a pleasure in visuality: the use of sight rather than words as a way of knowing the world. The brilliant colours and structured mayhem that foreigners associate with India- the Rajasthani turbans and the gypsy women, the bored camels and the lurid advertisements-are as much a part of Dinesh`s visual vocabulary as that other, more contemplative aspect of India: the quiet moments, the melancholy shadows, the empty spaces between the bodies in a crowd.ISBN - 9780670049011
