Gods I've Seen: Travels Among Hindus

From the lens of Magnum's Abbas — the mystical world of the Hindu revealed, from ancient rites to contemporary beliefs This latest in Abbas's transcendent series of books on major world religions, featuring ritualistic elements — wind, water, earth, and fire, magic, the spiritualism of animals — to explore the mysteries of the Hindu faith. Shot over three years in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bali, Abbas's images examine the enigmatic beliefs of sub‑sects such as Sikhs and Jains, alongside the everyday life of Hindus, and extend beyond his characteristic black‑and‑white work to include a series of colour photographs — in his words: 'In India, colour was a temptation I couldn't resist.' The result is this sumptuous volume, a must‑have for collectors and armchair travellers around the globe.
