About the artwork
Images of this story were shot in different regions of Ladakh and Zanskar. I have shot inside ancient Buddhist Monasteries which date back about 2000 years or more. These monasteries are located in the remotest regions of the Indian Himalayas. This area of Ladakh & Zanskar is also known as “Mini Tibet”. The images displayed here are the first in a series of a personal journey where I search answers to some fundamental questions about life, its meaning and purpose and about the nature of ‘Reality’. Constant interaction with brilliant Vedic & Buddhist scholars and philosophers has made me understand that the concept of a ‘Creator God’ proposed by organized religion is a childish one. It has failed to fully comprehend that unconditioned, non-dual, eternal omnipresent force. God is not a glorified Being sitting somewhere in the universe, directing lives of its people or attending to minute details of its day to day operations. We need to understand that the ‘Universal Mind’ does not exist separately in the universe but in it and as it. The universe was not arbitrarily created by any outside intervention but is self- born and governed by the eternal Law Of Cause and Effect or Karma. Impressions of all objects in the universe lie dormant within the inner depths of the Universal Mind, until they become active by the working of Karma. They are then projected in our familiar space-time dimension which we know as the material world. The universe is not only self-actuating but also self-determining.884_S

My name is Madhur Dhingra and I am fine art photographer based both in Toronto (Canada ) & New Delhi (India ) I was born an only child to my parents in Delhi, into a family torn apart by the aftermath of the India-Pakistan partition. I did my schooling from St.Xavier's High School, Delhi. After school I went to the Delhi University and took up English Honors as my subject. India-Pakistan partition bloodbath resulted my then affluent family moving to New Delhi completely penniless and shattered. This resulted in massive insecurity within the family members. Though born much later in Delhi I was forced to inherit all those very insecurities. Photography came to me as a fulfillment of a void that has plagued me because of those insecuri... (see more)
