Ghosts of a City: Exhibition reveals a nostalgic side of Delhi
The exhibition offers a rather unusual look at the Capital, beginning from the 1950s and follows it through the next five decades, with the works of Habib Rahman and renowned photographers Raghu Rai and Madan Mahatta.
A stunning black-and-white photograph of the late classical dancer Indrani Rahman, who was the first Miss India, 1952, to represent the country at the Miss Universe pageant. Her reflection shot by her famous architect-husband Habib Rahman, after they shifted to the Capital, offers a ringside view of Delhi of the ’50s. Famous for sporting a bindi and a gajra in the swimsuit round of the international competition, not many are aware that she won the Miss Calcutta competition as part of a fundraiser. Many such stories emerge from the exhibition “Delhi That Was” at Ojas Art Gallery, Delhi, which offers a rather unusual look at the Capital, beginning from the 1950s and follows it through the next five decades, with the works of Rahman and renowned photographers Raghu Rai and Madan Mahatta
