When he was unable to rent a large passenger van with seatbelts as I'd requested for our trip through South India, Boopathy Jayaraman gathered together all of his savings and, with the blessings of his wife and daughter, went out and purchased a brand-new Tempo Traveller, the first vehicle he'd ever owned.

He called it Bhairava.

These photographs, taken principally by our drivers Boopathy Jayaraman and his brother-in-law Gajendra Subramanyam, materialized before dawn and after dark, in forests and shops, in temples and at the dinner table.

Like Shiva's bull, Nandi, and Vishnu's eagle, Garuda, most Hindu deities are portrayed with a vahana, a divine vehicle. Over the course of four weeks of companionship and five thousand kilometers of Indian roads. seven of us (four westerners and three Indians) were carried through India by a most magical vehicle, the remarkable Bhairava.

BHAIRAVA is a ferocious form of Shiva and an excellent protector against harm. Traveling in his care through Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu were: Boopathy Jayaraman, Gajendra Subramanyam, TSJ Deenanath, Susan Burbidge, Alex Pla Delmulle, Tim Hamill & Bobbi Hamill, each of whom took some of the photographs in this show.

AN EXHIBITION OF COLOR

To be in India is to breathe color.  To be clothed in it.  To swim in it.  To dream of it. There are several ways in which we could have organized these photographs online:  by photographer, by subject, by place --- but by color seemed most appropriate. ( And we did it idiosyncratically as well.)
