Story is about relationship between human beings and river Ganga
worshiped as Mothergoddess by millions of people around the globe.
A spiritual relationship with a strong human desire to achieve eternal
peace,prosperity,spiritual uplifting,salvation so on and so forth.

In a way river Ganga being considered as a river of life,hope and
fulfilment, and the medium of achievement is faith.
In other words it is a sacred play of interactive energies where on one
hand there are countless human energies full of everlasting desires
and at the same time on the other hand Mothergoddess as a source
of energy and a supreme energy in herself.

It is an honest effort not just about capturing great photographs or
clicking something that seems cute or pleasant to the eyes but an
effort to externalize an internal process, to get at the essential
character and composition of a reality and to authentically represent
the reality of human situation.
Through my photographs I tried to unfold a story-an untold
story,different versions of known stories and a story retold. It is also
not just about freezing a moment in time and space but about the
dialogue it can have with the observer and also to provide a wider
communication for the silent voices. I try to look at the diversities of
life and experiences but simultaneously through my photographs i also
look for the universal-the humane.

My name is Neeraj Sharma. I am a freelance photographer from Mohali,Tri city Chandigarh capital city of Punjab . Being a photographer of people and more specifically a storyteller, most of my stories are about human reactions in the context of unique human situations. I love to follow long term ideas.
