DESCENDING TO YAMUNA RIVER, INDIA - 28,3“ x 42,5“ - Limited Edition of 5 Photograph

The timeless work "Descending to Yamuna River" was created during my stay in India at the holy river Yamuna. Great importance is attributed to the Yamuna in Indian mythology. Old stories tell that the river originally originated from the Ghaggar River. However, over the years it changed its direction. It owes his name to the goddess Yamuna, also known as Yami or later Kalinda (the dark one). Legends say that this legendary place was blessed by Krishna, who fell into the waters as a baby. This gave rise to a popular belief: people who immerse themselves in the sacred waters are healed and spared from sickness, death and fear. During my trip to India, I visited this spiritual and mythical place. Once there, I was able to experience and capture some wonderful moments. I would like to tell you a story about one of these moments: A few hours before sunrise, my wife and I set out to visit the place called Keshi Ghat on the pier of Yamuna. Once there, we spotted a beautiful temple and stone steps leading down to the bank of the sacred river. Although it was before dawn, many people were already gathered to perform their religious rituals. This fascinating sight radiated incredible calmness. Overwhelmed by the atmosphere, I walked thoughtfully down the steps to the bank of Yamuna. Brightly colored flowers from previous offerings were lying everywhere and deep mist hung in the air. Men and women dressed in splendid traditional robes strode past me, introverted. I felt this moment as magical and wanted to capture it completely authentic. Luckily, the people around were deep in thought and in a world where I did not exist. In seconds, I positioned myself at the edge of the stairs and purposefully pressed the shutter button. I managed to immortalize this breathtaking sight unaltered. This work takes you far away from your everyday life. It accompanies you to a place where faith is living. Through it, hope is created. Because he gives us humans the certainty that everything will be fine. 2011 Limited edition, signed, titled and numbered.
