Nation Through the Early Lens is a special edition of Saturdays @ Sarmaya that invites you to explore the people, landscapes, and monuments of India through the lens of early photography. From striking portraits of royals and commoners to pristine vistas and iconic monuments, both built and lost, this session delves into the evolution and spread of photography in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We’ll highlight key commission projects during the British Raj that shaped how the nation was documented, perceived, and remembered.
