Spirituality is the shining thread that runs through every motif of the rich and complex tapestry that is India. It is not only worship in temple, mosque or church, in gurudwara or agiary, that defines the faith of Indians –it is their ordinary, every kind of spirituality that serves as an axis, balancing the temporal with the eternal. The Sacred India Book seizes and distills this ephemeral quality often described as ‘the Spirit of India’. Amit Pasricha seeks out meditative moments and momentous ones, the ecstatically outstretched hands of Holi celebrants at Vrindavan, the quite faith of a women as she ties a piece of coloured thread on the latticed screen of a shrine. His photograph lay before the viewer the colourful, intricate mosaic of Indian religion, spirituality, ritual and tradition.
