Fueled by a desire to document the fast-disappearing traditions of folk and tribal cultures, Bhatt has been travelling across the nation for the last 50 years to produce these iconic photographs. Bhatt, trained as a painter at the M.S. University of Baroda, uses the camera for documentation as well as a means of self-expression.
