“Even when something is lost, the place remembers.”
At Hemakuta, I framed the Hanuman Temple at dusk with the setting sun breaking beside it as a sunburst. In the foreground was a linga platform carved directly into the rock, but the linga itself was missing. That absence immediately became part of the photograph for me.
The empty platform in front and the temple beyond seemed to speak of continuity and loss at the same time. The last light of the day added warmth to the stone, while the sunburst gave the scene an almost sacred presence. Hampi has many such moments, where what is missing can sometimes say as much as what still survives.
