Arna-Jharna: The Desert Museum of Rajasthan

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Arna-Jharna is a beautiful desert museum conceptualized by Padmashri Komal Kothari and brought to life by his son Kuldeep Kothari. I visited the museum about a year ago and was amazed by the way it was built up. Very small team, almost no machines used, 100% indigenous resources, using only the local knowledge for everything and anything. The museum is located on the outskirts of jodhpur. They managed to effectively collect water in the middle of desert and use some of Israeli irrigation techniques to make the entire patch green. This place is full of inspiration, I could share only the pictures.

I had done casual portfolio for 6-year-old Shrey almost a year ago. Shrey is now decently popular child model and most recently was used by Landmark (the chennai based retailer at their cathedral road city center store) as a model.

About a month ago I had an opportunity to shoot his dad – Abhilash. A pretty casual shoot and below are some of my favorite snaps. Let me know what you guys about it.
