Description

Posted in Category: [People]  

I shot this picture at Mani Bhavan, Mumbai. At Mani Bhavan, adjoining Gandhiji's room is the exhibition depicting Gandhiji's life through mini figures in about twenty-eight tableaux, prepared by Smt. Susheela Gokhale-Patel. These miniatures are behind a glass sheet enclosed in a wooden box. I guess they are made of clay. This is one of those miniatures!

This is a miniature of Gandhiji and Gaffar Khan in 1947. The impending division of the country was a deep source of agony to Gandhiji and Gaffar Khan. Gaffar Khan took a leave of Gandhiji with a heavy heart and left for his home-town in Pakistan. They never met again.

Exif data: 400 ISO, Shutter speed: 1/20 sec, Aperture: f/3.7, Focal length: 15.4mm, No flash fired, Picture shot in ambient light with camera hand-held.

Post-process: Levels, Curves and canvas texture applied.

    Are these miniatures kept in open or behind a glass sheet? And what are they made of ? I guess it is clay. And the shot is beautifully captured.

    Simply Great shot...at first glance it is very difficult to say it is something artificial...Wonderful textures & the composition of the shot!

    Does not look like a miniature at all. History behind this visit is also very touching. I can't wait to see complete Mani Bhavan album :)
