Photography

NGMA is in the process of building its photography collection. Perhaps the Lala Deen Dayal collection of photographs is one of the greatest assets of the NGMA. These photographs, bringing a whiff of a century-old princely culture, still convey a sense of freshness. The photographers of later times also excel in this ability. Raghu Rai, an outstanding photographer of our times, records the distinguished aura in the home of an aristocratic Bengali Family. Other contemporary photographers who are represented in the NGMA are Sanjeev Saith, Parthiv Shah, Dayanita Singh, Vivan Sundaram and Nemai Ghosh.
