Nagar, meaning ‘town’ in Hindi is a photo series that emerged from my recent trip to my hometown of Kavi Nagar, Ghaziabad.

The town has a modest population and is situated roughly two hours from Delhi. I captured this series of images while accompanying my two aunts on our daily 4pm wanders around the village.

When visiting Kavi Nagar throughout my childhood, it always seemed fairly unremarkable.
However during my recent trip, I was able to explore beyond the seemingly mundane to discover the surprisingly fascinating true nature of my hometown.

These images are a small excerpt of an ongoing body of work.
