“He has an individual way of seeing things and reproducing them as images on bromide paper which is unsurpassed by any photo journalist in the whole wide world.”—Normal Hall, The Times (London)

Raghu Rai was recommended for membership of the Magnum Photo Agency in 1973 by Henri Cartier-Bresson, and today he is one of the world’s most acclaimed photographers. This book is a collection of his greatest color pictures of India from the last eighteen years. His images talk of the simple people—the rituals and routines that make up the rhythm of their days, their spiritual fervor, and their dignity. It’s a study of the unconscious artistry of their labor and their humble homes.
