Vidura Jang Bahadur - Picture of my grandmother - Bangalore, 2008

Vidura Jang Bahadur is a young photographer who lives in Delhi.
He has lived in China for over three years.

This picture belongs to a series on his grandmother started in 1997 which is still in progress.

Here, Vidura captures a moment of deep concentration and calm while his grandmother is praying in the morning time.

The lens comes so close to the subject isolating her from her material environment representing a rare moment of meditation.

The gnarled long fingers sure of their touch on the rosary perform the repetitive act of prayer. This movement captured by the photographer then becomes the focal point of her intense concentration leaving the rest of her body immobile.
