Ki Chaam Festival

I was lucky enough to be in Spiti for the eagerly awaited Ki Chaam Festival, where monks dress up in elaborate costumes, some donning paper mache masks, and dance.

Some of my photos are now available to buy in a variety of sizes and finishes, or as digital files, at SerenityPhotography.co.uk. Search through my entire library of stock images here.

You can keep abreast of my travels by visiting my website underwater-girl.co.uk.

This is a truly wonderful gallery, full of life, humour, colour and movement.
A real 'window on the world'.
Beautifully captured, with finesse.
